Whitewash?

Rubbing salt into the wounds, Australia annihilated England in Melbourne's Boxing Day Test by an innings and 99 runs, a humiliating defeat for the tourists. The outcome of the series has long been determined. The only question now is will Australia pull off something neither side has managed in more than 80 years, an Ashes sweep. We'll find out when the final Test is played at the SCG in Sydney. Quite often, there is a let down in the final Test for the victorious side. The Aussies had a chance to pull off the sweep the last time England toured Australia, but managed to give away the final Test. This time, with Warne and McGrath retiring, they will be playing their last Test and I think they'll want to go out with a victory. Look for another English mauling.
