Ashes: Australia complete 5-0 series sweep

Sydney: Australia completed a 5-0 Ashes series whitewash with a 281-run victory inside three days of the fifth test at the Sydney Cricket Ground as England capitulated to be all out for 166 chasing 448.

Rogers, who had an unconvincing start to the series, has found his best form and on Sunday he frequently punctured the England field with fluent cover drivers, until he spooned a catch back to debutant spinner Scott Borthwick when on 119 off 169 balls, with 15 boundaries.
  
The 36-year-old Rogers, who scored a match winning 116 in Melbourne last week, is Australia's leading run scorer across the 10 Ashes tests staged since mid-2013, with 844 runs and three centuries.
  
"I don't think life gets any better than this," said Rogers. "It's been an unbelievable month. To finish like this ..."
  
"I found a bit of form in these last few games and thankfully have been able to cash in."
