Michael Clarke eyeing England Ashes whitewash

Captain Michael Clarke wants Australia to humiliate England in the remainder of The Ashes by winning their remaining two matches to secure a 5-0 series triumph having already regained the urn.

Australia outclassed England during the first and second Tests before clinching victory by 150 runs in the third meeting in Perth on Tuesday to end a run of three-straight defeats in The Ashes.

"What an amazing performance, not just today but throughout the first three Test matches," Clarke told reporters. "The boys deserve all the credit in the world and as Hadds just said to me "we've got them back".

"Look at the crowd and the support - it has been outstanding both at the venues and on TV. Credit to the players - the way they have stood tall has been outstanding.

"It was a tough night's sleep last night. Ben Stokes deserves a lot of credit to make it tough. We've got two more Test matches, we'd love to win 5-0 in this series."

The win ends Australia's run of 1,577 days without the urn.
