"An 8-8 draw overall was a pretty good achievement and we were really happy with a lot of the cricket we played - we showed great intent throughout the Ashes and I think that took us forward as a team." Unlike the Men's Ashes, which is played over five Tests, the Women's Ashes is decided by a points system. The winners of the Test picked up four points, while two points were on offer for each of the six white-ball games (three ODIs and three T20Is). Australia won the Test by 89 runs and then claimed the first T20I with just one ball remaining to take a 6-0 lead. Yet England won the next three games to level the contest.
