Annabel Sutherland (Player of the Match): "Really proud of the girls. I think overall such contribution from the squad, 16-0 is a great feat.
It’s really special to have the opportunity to play a Test match at the MCG, the ground I grew up coming here watching cricket. Moons (Mooney) and I are up there and King has joined. As a Victorian, nothing better than getting a Test match win here.
Yeah, I mean, Moons had such a great series. Huge contributions with the bat. I absolutely love batting with here. We complement each other really well."

Alana King (Player of the Series): “Yeah, 16-0 is a great feeling. Proud of the girls. We had back against the walls but we played in the way we know and happy to get across.
I had fun from the get go. I’m always excited to get the ball in hand. It’s sometimes hard to get it out of my hands. I’m stoked that it is a great win and we are going to enjoy it.
Special shout out to England for coming down. It was not the way you wanted but you showed great fight and pushed us all the way. A special shout out to the fans who came out and supported us throughout the series. Also, a big shout out to my fans club. We will have a beer later tonight."

Heather Knight (England Women Captain): “Congratulations to Australia. They played amazing cricket and beat us. Also, thanks to all the fans supporting this Test match. I absolutely love playing Test match and it’s great to see them turn up.
It’s been a tough month. Australia played remarkable cricket. We showed some fight in patches but faield to put in consistent performances throughout the series. Lauren Bell was outstanding with the ball in the Test match. Can't fault the bowlers. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get across the line."

Alyssa Healy (Australia Women Captain): “Thank you very much. Amazing and I think gotta put credit to T-Mac as well for leading the team in the T20 series. It was a joint effort.
Couldn’t be more proud of the group there. Just when we thought England would claw their way back in the game, somebody put their hand up and shut the door on them.
The whole series was just great. Getting to play against a good opposition at the best stadiums in Australia and getting back the crowd, it was a great experience to be involved in such a big series.
It’s amazing to see. Fox live on the ground and Seven on the ground. It’s well-supported by the organizers and you broadcasters. It gives us extra responsibility to play with.
I just like to echo the words and thanks to the crowd for coming here and supporting the women’s game. It’s great to have you here and the support has been amazing. I would like to thank the 13-14 girls that have played in the series and supported me.”

Australian skipper Alyssa Healy receives the trophy and is joined by her teammates. They pose for the photographs. The celebrations begin as Australia Women beat the England Women by a 16-0 margin to retain the Ashes. A dominant performance from the Southern Stars in front of their home crowd.
Right then. It's a wrap of our coverage of this year's Women's Ashes. A dominant victory for Australia Women and England Women will have to get back to drawing board quickly as they have failed to win a single game down under.
