ANOTHER epic batting collapse saw Australia grab defeat from the jaws of victory in the fourth Ashes Test in Durham.

News Corp Australia chief cricket writer Malcolm Conn rates the performances of Australia's players, and tells us which players should be looking over their shoulder.

Chris Rogers
8 out of 10

Outstanding Test with his maiden first innings hundred then a century opening stand with Dave Warner.

David Warner
6 out of 10

An uncertain first innings was overtaken by an excellent 71 to top score in the second innings.

Usman Khawaja
3 out of 10

Another disappointing Test. Needs to make more of his opportunities, they are running out.

Michael Clarke
3 out of 10

Played a bad shot in the first innings and received the ball of the match in the second.

Steve Smith
2 out of 10

After teasing at Old Trafford another Test of soft dismissals coupled with a dropped outfield catch.

Shane Watson
6 out of 10

Excellent batting and bowling in the first innings unfortunately hampered by injury later in the match.

Brad Haddin
3 out of 10

Another poor Test with the bat. Needs to find more consistency if he is to hold his place long term.

Peter Siddle
4 out of 10

Always wholehearted, he is clearly feeling the strain of four successive Tests, claiming just one wicket.

Ryan Harris
8 out of 10

The standout player for Australia in this series, he continues to deny his medical history. Has never bowled better.

Nathan Lyon
7 out of 10

Excellent performance with seven wickets for the match bowling first in generally unhelpful conditions.

Jackson Bird
3 out of 10

Was reasonable in patches and unlucky at times but lacked penetration on a wicket expected to suit him.
