Australia's transformation over the last three months came about because their players were fed up with losing and decided to put in the hard work to turn fortunes around, said captain Michael Clarke after they beat England by a massive 150 runs to win the third Test at the WACA in Perth and claim the Ashes after taking a 3-0 lead on Tuesday.
