Australia's Ashes win by the numbers

Top 10 run-scorers

Steve Smith (AUS) 687 @ 137.40

A deserving winner of the Compton-Miller Medal, the Australian skipper scored centuries in the first, third and fourth Tests as he won his first Ashes series in charge.

Shaun Marsh (AUS) 445 @ 74.16

The left-hander took advantage of his surprise recall, posting vital half-centuries in the first and fourth Tests and scoring a hundred in Adelaide and Sydney in a breakout campaign.

Dave Warner (AUS) 441 @ 63

The opener didn't hit the incredibly high standards he sets for himself, but 441 runs - highlighted by a century on Boxing Day - is another strong return.

Dawid Malan (ENG) 383 @ 42.55

One of the few Englishmen to enhance his reputation in this series, the left-hander showed impressive fight and posted his maiden Ashes Test on a spicy pitch in Perth.

Joe Root (ENG) 378 @ 49.02

The England skipper posted five half-centuries in the series, but the fact he didn't turn any of them into three figures will hurt as much as the 0-4 series defeat.

Alastair Cook (ENG) 376 @ 47

The veteran was under immense pressure after three Tests and his response, a record-breaking 244, underlined his class that nevertheless failed to shine through often enough this summer.

Usman Khawaja (AUS) 333 @ 47.57

The left-hander had a middling campaign until the final match of the series, when he posted his maiden Ashes ton and his first at his home ground in Sydney.

Mitch Marsh (AUS) 320 @ 106.66

Joined his brother in having a breakout campaign having unexpectedly won a recall, posting his first Test tons in Perth and Sydney.

Jonny Bairstow (ENG) 306 @ 34

The England wicketkeeper was a rare source of resistance for the tourists with the bat, as well as being sharp behind the stumps, and his hundred in Perth was one of the best moments of the series for the visitors.

James Vince (ENG) 242 @ 26.88

A series that summed up Vince's young Test career - flashes of brilliance and a promise of something special, but ultimately fell short of expectations.

Top wicket-takers (more than 10 wickets)

Pat Cummins (AUS) 23 @ 24.65

It was a series of firsts for the gun right-armer - his first Ashes series, his first Tests at home and his first as the leading wicket-taker. And what a series it was.

Mitch Starc (AUS) 22 @ 23.54

Missed the MCG Test due to injury, but was at his destructive best in the other four Tests. Wasn't as accurate as his bowling partners at times, but it's a small price to pay for someone with such a knack for taking wickets.

Josh Hazlewood (AUS) 21 @ 25.90

Having come into the series underdone, the right-armer quickly found his range and increased his pace as the series went on to go with his nagging accuracy.

Nathan Lyon (AUS) 21 @ 29.23

One of the key differences between the two sides, Lyon was a superb ally for Australia's quicks as he held up an end and took regular wickets, troubling England's left-handers in particular.

James Anderson (ENG) 17 @ 27.82

The veteran was a rare shining light for England in conditions that don't suit him, taking regular wickets and - even when he didn't make the breakthroughs - keeping the run rate down in at times searing heat.

Stuart Broad (ENG) 11 @ 47.72

A disappointing campaign from the right-armer that even had some questioning his place in the side. Showed good signs at the MCG, was below his absolute best apart from that.

Most dismissals

Tim Paine (AUS) 26

After one of the most surprising Test recalls in recent memory, the Tasmanian was superb in his rare chances with the bat and behind the stumps, taking 25 catches and a stumping.

Jonny Bairstow (ENG) 11

Like Paine, Bairstow was barely noticed behind the stumps, which is a tribute to how clean his glovework was. His one-handed catch in Melbourne and stumping in Sydney were particularly sharp pieces of work.
