Shane Warne was delighted to see Australia finally turn the tables on England after losing the last three Ashes series. The former leg-spinner credits some of the improvement to coach Darren Lehmann and his relaxed style. Warne said: "The way they've won here has really given England something to think about.

Australia captain Clarke and his senior bowler Ryan Harris both stressed the importance of backing up this performance in the second Test in Adelaide.

We've got a lot of work to do to accomplish what we want to accomplish in this series." Harris expects conditions in Adelaide to suit England but wants Australia to continue their 'aggressive and entertaining brand of cricket'.
