A 4-1 scoreline can leave no doubt, this has been an Ashes summer of dominance for a resilient Australian side and a tour of errors and mismanagement for England.

Jacob Bethell's brilliant maiden Test century sets up an intriguing finish in Sydney, but leaves everyone bemused as to where this precocious young player has been all summer.

Australia's batting order is unsettled, unbalanced and out of form, but it matters little as England throws in the towel and considers the challenge of a Boxing Day Ashes Test all too hard.

In the pre-series furore, with England crowing and injury concerns mounting, Australia stayed quiet. Its response has been an emphatic and quite brilliant Ashes domination.

The Gabba has been left behind by Australia's other marquee stadiums, but is also a place where sporting magic happens, with memories that will survive the much-needed move to Victoria Park.

Jackson Archer certainly did not mean to hurt Luke Cleary and may not have even meant to hit him, but in the AFL's battle against concussion it is a distinction that may not matter at the tribunal.

As proactive and frenetic as ever, Travis Head enjoyed a day in Adelaide where everything went right and his thrilling knock has set Australia on the path to a critical victory.
