Boof says we bounced the Poms, now the South African tail is going to cop it HORD AND FORST Australian coach Darren Lehmann smiles at the reception from the throng of fans at the Opera House. IT'S going to be on for young and old in our next Test series against South Africa. It will be an aggressive series and I am really looking forward to it. One tactic which clearly worked well for us against England was bouncing their tail, and I see no reason why we won't try it in South Africa. We will use it on any bouncy track we get. No-one likes facing it. We hatched the tactic in England but it was difficult to employ there because of the slower wickets. But South African decks are more like Australia's, so I can see us using it again. We deliberately targeted English bowlers with short balls in the same way as the West Indies did to other nations in the 1980s and Australia did to the West Indies in 1995 when Glenn McGrath fired up. Australian cricket fans have been lining up since the early hours of Tuesday morning at the Sydney Opera House to greet and thank their Ashes heroes on what would have been Day Five of the Fifth Test at the SCG. You need the right bowlers to do it and we were fortunate to have a pace attack who could push the speed gun to the 145kph and, in Mitchell Johnson's case, comfortably beyond it. We feel we are bringing this tactic back into the game and it will be interesting to see whether teams follow the plans we have and try it themselves. Towards the end of the series our fast men were not as quick as they were in the opening Tests because they were getting tired but they did a wonderful job to last five Tests. Our challenge is to try and expose weak spots in every side we play while improving ourselves. England batsman Gary Ballance is hit by a bouncer from Mitchell Johnson. One of the things we want to do as a team is create our own history. We want to change the game. Australia became the first Test team to win 5-0 with the same XI, the first team to set an opponent 500 for victory three times in a row, the first Australian team to take all 100 wickets in a five Test Ashes series and George Bailey equalled the world record of 28 runs off an over. All these statistics create their own marks on history and are something the team can be proud of. The magnitude of our victory surprised a lot of people - me included. I was surprised to win 5-0. I thought we might win 2-1 or 3-1 but 5-0 was staggering. Morne Morkel ducks under a bouncer from Mitchell Starc during the last Test series between the nations. The telling game for me was not so much our start in Brisbane but when Mitchell Johnson just blew England away on a flat deck in Adelaide. Mitchell was superb, as were all of our bowlers who executed plans against England's top order with great precision. Alastair Cook struggled, Joe Root got dropped, Ian Bell could not get going and Kevin Pietersen did not score the runs he would have liked, all because our fast men delivered on our plans. I loved Brad Haddin's effort to come back and go so well after spending time out of the game to be with his ill daughter Mia. He excelled not simply as a batsman and keeper but a senior player and vice-captain, showing that a little break from the game - albeit an enforced one - can really freshen a player up. Our captain Michael Clarke out-thought England and was aggressive in everything he did. The challenges roll on, including the one-day series against England then our tour of South Africa where we are determined to improve our record away from home. History tells us it will be a great challenge but challenging history is what we are all about.
