Certainly at the forefront of that change in fortune, was the off-spinner Nathan Lyon. Spinners are noted for learning their trade and honing their craft over a prolonged period of time, and six years after claiming his first Test victim, Lyon snared 13 dismissals in the Chittagong victory for just 154 runs.
Undoubtedly, Lyon had created doubts in the minds of the Tigers batsmen in Dhaka, and he continued to win the mind games from the start of the 2nd Test.
Although he displayed a complete control of flight and spin. The first three wickets he took in the first session of the match, which put the hosts on the back foot, all fell to straight deliveries against batsmen who seemed to believe that they could play Lyon without adopting any due care and attention.
All this at a time when the pitch was at its most batsmen friendly.
Sharing the player of the series award with Lyon, was the opener David Warner, a fine player, but who arrived on this tour with a distinctly ordinary record in Asia.
However, he followed his second innings century in Dhaka, with an outstanding six hour effort in the first knock in Chittagong. His 123, which included just seven fours, displayed a patience not normally associated with the belligerent Warner, but was an effort that ultimately set up victory for his side.
By the time he was dismissed, the Baggy Green Caps were just seven runs adrift of the Tigers first innings total, a position of ascendancy that they were never to relinquish.
However, as much as the efforts of Lyon and Warner set up the tourists success, the Tigers also contributed to their own downfall.
While they have shown a greater determination in recent times, to battle in difficult circumstances, most notably in Wellington and Colombo, Chittagong showed something of a return to the days when a lack of backbone, rather than any poor techniques, underpinned the sided efforts and ambition.
When trailing by 72 on first innings, and knowing that setting Australia a target of 150 could well be sufficient to record a famous win, none of the top five posted more than 15, leaving the lower order with too much to do to set up a series clinching success.
