Andy Flower admits England haven't played their best cricket so far this summer but their resilience is the key reason why England have retained the Ashes and clinched the series. England have won the Ashes for a third consecutive time and lead the series 3-0 with only 1 more test to go.

Flower also praised captain Alastair Cook for guiding England to Ashes success and making some bold decisions in the field and being strong in the dressing room.

England won the 4th Test yesterday after Australia collapsed from 109-1 to 224 all out, England winning the test by 74 runs. Stuart Broad was the pick of the England bowlers with match figures of 11-121; David Warner smacked a quick fire 71 for the Aussies to give them hope.
