I thought it was a brilliant test wicket.

I thought the game itself was amazing.

It was well supported right throughout.

And we weren't too far away, you know.

Australia was just a little bit too good in the end for us.

But I think overall, we've had our opportunities in this series, there's no doubt.

We've got a few things wrong and we missed some of those key moments which can turn a series.

And credit to Australia, I think right throughout they've been relentless the way they've operated.

They've out-batted us, out-bowled us and out-fielded us.

So ultimately they deserve to win and we've got some lessons to learn.

Look, we know we haven't been at our best when we first put our hands up when it comes to that.

When you're in a contest against another team and they step up in those big moments and we aren't quite able to seize them, the scoreline obviously reflects that.

From our point of view, we came here with high hopes and high ambitions and we haven't been able to walk away with what we wanted to when we arrived here.

But there's some lessons there and as long as you learn those lessons and

and you're able to, I guess, improve on them, then you give yourself a chance of being a better team moving forward.

But, you know, we're bitterly disappointed.

We want to thank all the people that have supported us, all the English that have travelled so far to come here and support us right throughout the tour and to all the fans watching back home as well.

It's been a great series to be involved in, albeit our cricket hasn't necessarily been up to it, but we're appreciative of all the support we've had.

Yeah look I'm obviously disappointed with the outcome of the series and as coach you've got to put your hand up and say what could you have done better what could you have got right could have got better to ensure you got the right result but you know that's things we've got to look at over the next little while I'd love to carry on because I feel like we've got we've got some steps to take and we've got some some things that we can improve on some areas which even if we had won the series 5-0 you'd still look at an evolution of what you need to do and some areas which would be highlighted that you need to improve on and

And as a coach, that's what you try and do.
