Australia retain Ashes after stunning display by hometown hero Scott Boland | wutube
Scott Boland sealed a Boxing Day Test debut to remember, as Australia retained the urn after storming to a crushing win over England on Tuesday.
The newest member of the exclusive baggy green club, local lad Boland had the MCG crowd eating out of his hands as he captured the stunning figures of 6-7 from just four overs, the second best return by any male player on debut in Melbourne and the sixth best by an Australian debutant.
Embarrassingly for the visitors, they could not even push the game to lunch on the third day and lost by an innings despite Australia managing just 267 in their first dig. Such was the one-sided nature of this summer’s series, the urn was decided in just 12 days of cricket.
