Shane Warne could not resist several jibes at England coach Duncan Fletcher after helping to complete one of Australia's greatest Ashes triumphs at the Adelaide Oval.

The Hampshire captain had been upset by Fletcher's comments following Australia's comprehensive first Test victory in Brisbane.

Fletcher claimed England's batsmen had played Warne well and gifted him a couple of soft wickets.

Warne answered in style with a brilliant display to claim incredible figures of 27-11-29-4 on the final day of the second Test as England slumped to 129 all out.

Those efforts left Australia with a victory target of 168 in 36 overs, which they reached with 19 balls of the match remaining.

It was a stunning response to Fletcher's comments, but Warne could still not resist replying himself, saying: "I read the rubbish Duncan Fletcher said about them playing me well.

"It's obviously a lot different in the first couple of days of the Test match when the wicket's pretty flat and you've got guys like Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood playing exceptionally well.

"I thought Kevin Pietersen was the only one who played me well in the first Test, but I still feel confident against all their players.

"When you get conditions that suit you like that, you have to do your role.

"My role in the side today was to tie up an end, not let them score, and take wickets, and I thought I did that okay.

"I was happy with what we achieved against some of their batsmen as well.'' Warne, who claimed 40 wickets but finished on the losing side in the 2005 Ashes series, added: ''I don't think I can bowl any better than I did today. I don't think I bowled too much garbage - I probably bowled half a dozen bad balls.

''If I can bowl like that for the rest of the series then hopefully I might cause a few of Duncan Fletcher's boys a bit more trouble.'' Aside from his war of words with Fletcher, Warne was delighted to play such a big part in Australia's stunning turnaround and significant advantage in the series.

''It was spinning and bouncing a bit out there, but you still had to land it on the right spot because if you didn't they have enough good players to hit boundaries,'' he said.

''We wanted to bowl England out and to achieve that was fantastic by the whole side.

''I love being in those situations - I have done during my whole career. I don't know why, but I just perform better in those situations than others.

''I find something inside me that keeps me going. I knew I had to take the majority of the wickets as a spinner because the conditions demanded that.'' Keep up to date with the Ashes in the Daily Echo and on www.dailyecho.co.uk
