The selectors stuck with the same players who won the third Test in Perth by 206 runs on Monday to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series and regain the Ashes from England.

All-rounder Andrew Symonds retained his place along with seamer Mitchell Johnson, who was the 12th man in Perth.

Australia squad: Ricky Ponting (captain), Justin Langer, Matthew Hayden, Mike Hussey, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Brett Lee, Stuart Clark, Glenn McGrath, Mitchell Johnson.
