7-1. That's Australia's lead in individual centuries scored in the first three Tests. England scored five centuries to Australia's four in England earlier this year.
Belt 'em. Australia has smashed an astonishing 36 sixes in just six innings and looks a certainty to surpass the record for the most sixes in a Test series - 37 by Pakistan against India in 2005-06. England has hit 12 sixes. Brad Haddin and George Bailey lead with the way for the home team with eight sixes apiece.

Belt 'em some more. Australia's run rate has been superior to England's in all six innings. Australia's slowest scoring rate was its first innings in Brisbane (3.03 runs per over). England has only twice managed to score at three runs per over on average for an entire innings.
Australia has the four highest run-scorers of the series so far. David Warner (457 runs), Michael Clarke (331), Brad Haddin (325) and Shane Watson (200). England's best, Ian Bell, comes in at No.5 with 190.
Declaration of intent. Australia has not conceded 20 wickets in any Test this summer, declaring its second innings closed in all three games.

BOWLING
Game of attrition. England has spent 578.4 overs in the field to Australia's 495.1. It's equivalent to an extra day in the field for the tourists.
Under pressure. Australia's bowlers have delivered 146 maidens (about one in every three) while England has sent down just 93 maidens (about one in every six).
No frontline Australian bowler has conceded more than three runs per over on average. That's something no England bowler has been able to achieve. Graeme Swann, not long ago recognised as the premier finger spinner in the world, has conceded 3.94 runs per over, the most expensive rate on either side among established bowlers.

Australia has four of the five leading wicket-takers for the series. Mitchell Johnson (23 wickets), Ryan Harris (12), Peter Siddle (11) and Nathan Lyon (10). England's Stuart Broad (14) splits that quartet and ended the Perth Test injured.
AND ANOTHER THING
Australia has won the toss in all three Tests. But that alone does not account for such comprehensive winning margins.
Fielding. While the likes of Brad Haddin, David Warner, Mitchell Johnson and Chris Rogers earn their place on the Ashes highlight reel through spectacular diving catches, England wicketkeeper Matt Prior gets a gig with his series of gaffes behind the stumps this summer.
