Celebrations begin in earnest after Lyon strikes up victory song Sing it loud: Nathan Lyon leads the victory song as Australia's players celebrate on the WACA pitch. We've got 'em back! With those words from the lion-hearted Ryan Harris, Australia began celebrating the end of more than four years of subjugation at the hands of England. That no one really expected them to win the Ashes this summer, let alone be 3-0 ahead after three matches, made it all the more sweet.

In the WACA Ground dressing room where Nathan Lyon led them through the team song Under the Southern Cross I Stand. It's been a tough time over the last few series against England. Australia put behind them, arguably, their worst year in Test cricket in 25 years to destroy England with aggressive cricket. They batted and fielded far better than their opponents and shook up Alastair Cook and his men with brutal fast bowling. Victory toast: Brad Haddin celebrates with a beer and a bottle of bubbly. There were a few nerves on Tuesday thanks to a brave maiden century from England second-gamer Ben Stokes but when Lyon stepped up to claim his crucial wicket after lunch, the tension was released, replaced by the freedom of an impending triumph When the ninth wicket fell, courtesy of a brilliant catch by veteran Chris Rogers, Clarke and his teammates began to wind up the crowd, gesturing with their arms for spectators to raise the proverbial roof. "I'm not looking at it tonight, I can guarantee you that," said Clarke, who led Australia to glory in his 100th Test. All the boys in the change room - they deserve this feeling. Clarke indicated, however, that the foot would not come off the pedal in their next outing, the Boxing Day Test. We will turn up in Melbourne 100 per cent ready to go, and doing everything we've done to win the first three matches. They will rise above England to go third if they win the series 4-0 or 5-0, but he said there was still work to be done. "We've allowed it to slide over a period of time and, fortunately, we've turned it around and I think we're heading back in the right direction," he said. To be the No.1 team in the world, you've got to be consistent home and away. In Test cricket at the moment, a lot of the top teams are performing at home and not having as much success as they would like away from home. Steve Smith was named man of the match in Perth for his first-innings hundred and the 24-year-old could not hide his delight. ""Having been part of two other Ashes series and going down to England we were certainly very hungry to get the urn back,"" Smith said. ""There is no better feeling. To have won that urn back, it's just an incredible feeling."" Australia on Tuesday night named the same 12-man squad for the fourth Test starting on Boxing Day, with fast bowlers Doug Bollinger and Nathan Coulter-Nile to remain in the set-up as back-up options. Clarke and Australia will be awarded the crystal Ashes trophy after the fifth Test at the SCG.
