All for the Test having a bigger weighting of course but it'll be strange if a series in which one team won twice as many games ends up drawn.

that’s why there shouldn’t of been a possibility to draw the series. Makes sense in a test series. But when you mix a series with all three formats it doesn’t make Much sense m. But aus still adecent chance here

Should an extra point be given for winning each of the limited overs series? Or maybe the Test should've been 3 rather than 4.

England have been the better team since the Test and certainly deserve at least a share of the spoils.

This game has ended up being the most one sided of the whole series.

First time Australia have lost a bilateral ODI series in a decade. It's got to be said, for a team to win both limited overs series and not win the overall trophy seems a bit odd. The Aussies may keep the Ashes, but I suspect they won't exactly be celebrating that fact.

Lanning was a huge loss for them. Not just what she brings to the team, but also the toll it seemed to take on Healy too. Hope we'll see her again soon.

Think it also played a big part in lifting the English players too. Hopefully, next time in Australia, now we know it should be a decent contest it will encourage more people to come and watch. I got into Women's Cricket through my daughter playing and absolutely love watching it now.

Yeah this is the worst Australia have looked in a long long time. The top order looks dubious without Haynes and Lanning - Litchfield is a talent but not there yet - the team balance is far too weighted towards all-rounders and specialists, and the fast bowlers are a long way where they should be. Too reliant on individual performances rather than across-the-board solidity; even in the Test match which was by far the most impressive performance, does anyone really feel like "hundred from #8 and Ash Gardner picking up tons of poles" is really how they were expecting to win games?
