"Australia had a few nervous moments but safely chased down their 160-run victory target before tea on the final day of the fifth Ashes Test match against England, earning a five-wicket victory and a 4-1 series triumph. Seamer Josh Tongue led England's battling rearguard with 3-42 but Alex Carey got Australia across the line with a four through the covers in the company of Cameron Green on Thursday."
"We've played so well as a team, said Steve Smith, who was standing in for Pat Cummins as Australia captain for the fourth time in the series. We've had some incredible individual performances but everyone else just stood up at different moments. I think that's what makes a really good team. We won those big moments throughout the series."
