Smith wants Aussies to keep digging in
Steve Smith's Australia won't be afraid to continue to play the long game and take a 患者 approach to their batting as they climb their way up world cricket.
Smith's men 得点する／非難する／２０d at just 2.97 runs per over in the 4-0 敗北・負かす of England, the slowest 率 of any Australian 味方する in two １０年間s, dating 支援する to their 敗北・負かす of South Africa in 1997-98.
The 人物／姿／数字s were a far cry from the halcyon days of Matt Hayden and Ricky Ponting, who often led 味方するs to 率s of more than four an over in the 中央の-noughties as Australia 主張するd their dominance.
Slower pitches in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney 与える／捧げるd to those 率s this summer, but Smith said he was impressed with the way his team had adapted.
"That's important for the batting group," Smith said.
"There are times where you can go out, just play normal and you can 得点する／非難する／２０ 自由に. And there are times where it's not as 平易な to 得点する／非難する／２０.
"It's about summing it up and finding the 権利 way to get through the 状況／情勢 and coming out the other 味方する of it.
"That's one thing this team has done really 井戸／弁護士席 this series. They've adapted to different 速度s of the game and different 状況／情勢s of the game."
The series also 示すd the first Ashes contest to have all five games go to the final day since 1994-95.
While England also 得点する／非難する／２０d at just 2.94 for the series, the telling 人物／姿／数字 was the fact Australia batted for at least 120 overs in an innings in every 実験（する）, while England did it just once in the Melbourne draw.
"It was a 一連の patience and perhaps our 乱打するs just had some better patience throughout the series," Smith said.
"Our bowlers had （疑いを）晴らす 計画（する）s to the 底（に届く） four which worked more often than not."
