- Mike Atherton, at the end of this match, has an aggregate of 7676 runs
from 113 matches which takes him ahead of Colin Cowdrey who had an
aggregate of 7624 runs from 114 matches. Now only Graham Gooch (8900
runs from 118 matches), David Gower (8231 from 117) and Geoff Boycott
(8114 from 108) are ahead of Atherton for England.
- The wicket of Andrew Caddick in the second innings was the 100th for
Jason Gillespie in his 24th match. He became the 29th Australian and
121st bowler overall to do so.
- When Mark Ramprakash was stumped by Gilchrist in second innings, it
was the 19th time Shane Warne got a wicket in this fashion. With this
he moved ahead of India's Vinoo Mankad and Bishen Singh Bedi and
Australia's Ashley Mallett who each had 18 such dismissals against
their name. Now only Clarrie Grimmett (28) and India's Subhash Gupte
(20) are ahead of Warne.
- When Mike Atherton was dismissed by McGrath in the first innings, it
was the 20th occasion Atherton was getting out without opening his
account. He thus joined seven other batsmen who have suffered the
ignominy of recording 20 or more ducks in a career. They are: West
Indian Courtney Walsh (43 ducks), Curtley Ambrose (26), Australian
Shane Warne (24), New Zealander Danny Morrison (24), India's Bhagwat
Chandrasekhar (23), Australia's Glenn McGrath (22) and India's Bishen
Singh Bedi (20).
- Brett Lee has now played in 10 matches without being on the losing
side even once. He has now equalled West Indian Eldine Baptiste's
record in this category of statistics. The following tables have the

- Australia has now played in 21 consecutive result matches winning 19
and losing two. It is now only one short of equalling England's all
time record of 22 consecutive matches without a draw between 1884-85
and 1891-92 with 17 wins and five losses.
- The defeat was Mike Atherton's 21st in 54 matches. Only Allan Border
has lost more matches (22) than Atherton.
- The win was Steve Waugh's 20th in 27 matches. He became the eighth
captain to win 20 or more matches after West Indian Clive Lloyd (36
wins in 74 matches), Australian Allan Border (32 in 93), South African
Hansie Cronje (27 in 53), Viv Richards (27 in 50), Australian Mark
Taylor (26 in 50), Greg Chappell (21 in 48) and Englishman Peter May
(20 in 41).
- The victory in this match also sealed the series in Australia's
favour. Australia has now won seven Ashes series in a row. The last
occasion Australia lost a series to England was back in 1986-87 when
England defeated Australia on latter's soil by a 2-1 margin.
- Shane Warne was winning his ninth Man of the Match award - his third
against England. He had last won an award way back in 1997-98 against
South Africa in Sydney.
