Just out of interest, but does anyone know if a test series has been decided before the boxing day test before?

Bit of a shame to have 2 dead rubbers.....

Good result though in the end.

Fantastic result. Well done to the team and all the support staff around them.

Lets make it 5-0, with Warney to bowl on Boxing Day and take his 700th!

not having simon jones & vaughn would be like not having warne & ponting 4 australia....and i doubt the ashes would have been won if panesar played instead of giles...but yeh that innings by gilchrist was superb considering the context of the game and his recent poor form

yeh many times...in a 5 test series the 4th one is always played on boxing day and aus have led a 5 test series 3-0 on many ocassions...think back 2 the windies 5-0 thrashing in the 2000/2001 season and the last time the poms came here (2002/2003) im pretty sure aus led 3-0 too with the final series score being 4-1 cause england won the one in sydney

yeh i read about that last week...would never have thought that :p.....it's been a while i think 13 years or something maybe even longer since australia last lost a series...it would have been to the windies i rekon...i started following cricket in 94 and i know aus hasnt lost a test series since that time..technically nz would have in the 2001/2002 series if it wasn't for the poor umpiring decisions in the 3rd test @ perth...it ended up being a draw (that was the test shane warne got out for 99 by the way)...india came close in the 2003/2004 series but that was a drawn series too...i think india won the 1 in adelaide, lost the one @ the mcg and drew the 1 in brisbane due to rain

Not Entirely Correct... in the modern era the Melbourne test has been the 4th... but only a few seasons ago the MCG was actually 3rd on the list....

It went Brisbane, WACA, MCG, SCG, Adelaide... That was in the days when they played one day matched in between each test... And sometimes if two tours were coming to Australia, They would play 3 tests against each with an additional test somewhere in the middle thrown in, for Tasmania! Also remember that most test series these days are made up of only 3 tests. The Australia versus England series is granted special approval to be played over 5 tests given its historical status.....
