 is the inclusion of Michael Carberry at the top of the order to open with Alastair Cook, which was also allowed Joe Root to slide down to No.6, the position occupied by Jonny Bairstow for much of the home series. Matt Prior suffered a calf tear during the warm-up match in Hobart and remains in doubt, and Bairstow would keep wicket if Prior is ruled out.

England captain Alastair Cook(DOB Dec 25,1984) became the youngest cricketer to reach 8,000 Test runs

The 29-year-old Alastair Cook beat Sachin Tendulkar to the milestone by 21 days and appeared in fine touch as he reached the break on 41, with fellow opener Michael Carberry grafting for 5 runs and moved serenely to 54 without loss at lunch after dismissing Australia for 204 early on the third day of the fourth Ashes Test on Saturday Dec 28,2013
Alastair Cook reached the landmark in 7 years and 300 days



In his 29th Test Match Nathan Lyon (Australia)claimed 5/50 - including his 100th Test wicket -Stuart Broad and his first five-wicket haul in Australia,as England collapsed again

Brad Haddin's 65 Runs gave him the highest aggregate by a wicketkeeper in any Ashes series
