Ron Burgundy Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Perth (Australia) (AFP) - Australia fought past a determined rearguard to seal their third big win in a row against old enemy England and regain the Ashes in emphatic style after a gap of four years Tuesday. In front of a delirious crowd at Perth's WACA ground, England's resistance came to an end after lunch on the last day as they were all out for 353, a deficit of 150 runs. The victory, which followed wins of 381 and 218 runs in Brisbane and Perth, gave Australia an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series and their first Ashes triumph in four attempts. It capped a remarkable turnaround for Australia, who were unfancied going into the series just months after a 3-0 loss in England.
