The England campaign was already battered and bruised after Australia’s crushing 3-0 series win with two Tests remaining.
Ahead of the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, opening batsman Warner says veteran spinner Swann pulling up stumps felt like another victory for Australia.
“It’s like a little bit of a knockout blow,” Warner said.
“It is weird with Trotty (Jonathan Trott) going home and now Swanny retiring.

He says the fact that everyone is contributing is the difference in the side that was winless against England earlier this year.
“That’s probably why we’re 3-0, because everybody is doing their little bit around the team,” Warner said.
“We’re going as well as we can.”
Australia bowling coach Craig McDermott this week praised his attack as the best in Test cricket and Warner feels the batsmen are in line for the same title.
“We are well on our way,” Warner said.
“We’ve been gelling well together and working hard together in the nets.
