Cook lauds Broad as Aussies swept aside in fourth Test Man of the match Stuart Broad. ENGLAND captain Alastair Cook admitted he could not find a superlative to sufficiently describe the Stuart Broad spell that devastated Australia just as the visitors appeared destined to finally upset them. Broad, 27, was as fast and hostile as he has been in his career to claim a remarkable 6-20 in the space of only 45 balls at Durham on Monday, almost single-handedly tearing to pieces Australia's batting order in less than two hours to lead England to a 74-run win in the fourth Test. The blond pacemen wound up with 11 wickets for the match, leaving his captain without an immediate explanation when asked if he had words to describe the performance. "No not really," Cook said. It was a fine spell of bowling. That's probably not the right adjective either. As a captain and knowing how important that session was - if we lost that session we would have been struggling. Broady knew that and the lads knew that. He really charged in. When everything clicks and bowling in the high 80s (mph) with the control Broady has it's incredibly hard to bat. Words can't justify how good a spell of bowling that was. We also have to recognise the job Tim Bresnan (2-36) did at the other end. We talk about bowling in partnerships but that end into the wind wasn't doing that much. He really built the pressure which was a huge credit to Bressie. England will officially be recognised with their Ashes victory with a presentation after the fifth Test at the Oval, starting next week, where they will chase a 4-0 series win. Cook, however, said that Monday's dramatic events felt like the moment to begin celebrating their success over Australia. They have now won the Ashes for a third straight series, with Australia's last win back in the home summer of 2006/07. Yeah I think so. It does," Cook said. Nine wickets in a session, the crowd, the excitement and the nerves at the beginning. It was the moment. we are going to get greedy and try and repeat that at the Oval, but we can think about that with sore heads tomorrow. We'll enjoy what is a very social day and one that I'm going to look back on with huge fondness. Broad can expect to arrive in Australia as something of a villain in a few months' time but even after the controversy over standing his ground at Trent Bridge it was difficult not to admire his brilliant bowling, highlighted by a sensational ball that clattered into the top of Australian captain Michael Clarke's off stump. "It was a very special afternoon," Broad said. We gathered ourselves at tea with Australia having won that session without doubt. The great thing about this side is we have a lot of experience in the changing room. The guys put their heads together calmly and decided the best way forward. 'Cookie' was clear what he wanted the bowlers to do. We needed to make the Aussies play off the front foot a little bit more. The bowlers were too caught up in hitting the deck hard which was a little too far back of a length. Once we got the ball fuller we got the ball to move and we were massively in the game. Despite the openers beginning well it was a very hard wicket to start on and we always had in the back of our minds that with 300 on the board we can put a lot of pressure on the new batsmen. Once we got some early ones after tea the bowlers got their tails up and we put the new batsmen under pressure. The crowd gave us a huge lift. It was a special moment when we took that final wicket.
