- Australia batsman Usman Khawaja on Fox Sports as he heads into retirement.
"I think everyone stood up at different times."
- Australia captain Steve Smith.
"That's Ashes cricket. Everyone got tense. Usman is going to be missed... a great way to finish."
- Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey on Fox.
"We've done a bit of damage to ourselves. We've got some time to reflect after this Test."
- England captain Ben Stokes.
"Well done, Australia. Dominated every game pretty much. A fitting result. They kept the foot on the throat."
- Former Australia coach Darren Lehmann on ABC Sport.
"This series was littered with mistakes for England. We had chances, but we never took them."
- Ex-England spinner Phil Tufnell on BBC Test Match Special.
"England are a quality team skill-wise. It is adaptability and the mental side of things. There are lots of things they did wrong."
- Glenn McGrath, former Australia bowler, on BBC Test Match Special.
