"Putting in an effort to defend that was a confidence boost": Lauren Bell on England's fight against Australia
England are aiming for a fresh start in Melbourne after suffering a 0-3 defeat to Australia in the first Ashes ODI in Sydney on Sunday. Having posted a below-par total of 204, with their innings wrapped up in just 44 overs, England struggled against some smart Australian bowling, especially Ashleigh Gardner, who took 3 for 19. The hosts, led by Gardner and Alyssa Healy, chased down the target with ease, finishing the game with 67 balls to spare. Lauren Bell, the England seamer who took 1 for 25 in nine economical overs, felt her team deserved a lot of credit for making Australia's chase slightly more challenging than they would have expected.

"If that happened again...": Sam Konstas on exchange with Jasprit Bumrah at SCG
India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 1-3, succumbing to a six-wicket defeat in the fifth and final Test at Sydney after setting Australia a target of 162 runs. With this loss, India is officially out of contention for the ICC World Test Championship final at Lord's in June next year, as Australia and South Africa have sealed their places. The incident of Konstas being involved in the exchange of words with stars Virat Kohli and Bumrah and the consequent show of aggression by the Indian team rattled both Indian and Australian dressing rooms in different ways.

Ravichandran Ashwin retired mid-series because he was 'jack of not being picked': Brad Haddin
The veteran all-rounder sent shockwaves in the cricketing fraternity as he announced his retirement from international cricket following the draw during the third Test at Brisbane. Notably, Ashwin had not featured in that match. He had played in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide Oval where he scored 29 runs across both innings and got a wicket. Before this series, he was a part of a shock home Test series loss to New Zealand, India's first in 12 years. Ashwin was one of the main architects of India's dominant Test run at home.
