Sam Konstas - 5

Played with his trademark risky approach.

Didn't really work out in both innings.

Finished with 23 and 22 and his shot to get out in the second innings wasn't particularly smart.

Usman Khawaja - 6

Played a very important innings during Australia's chase. Went at just under a run a ball but was still very watchful.

Dismissed cheaply in the first innings but has done enough to keep his spot for the tour of Sri Lanka.

Marnus Labuschagne - 2

The lean run from Marnus Labuschagne continues.

Didn't get past single digits once.

An incredibly soft dismissal in the second innings, just guiding a late cut straight to gully.

Steve Smith - 5

An extremely important 33 in the first innings.

Everyone was on edge for him to score 5 in the second to reach 10,000 runs.

He left us all disappointed on 9,999.

Would have a higher rating if it wasn't for his dropped catches.

Travis Head - 6

Fell cheaply in the first innings but was back to his best during the run chase.

His partnership with Beau Webster led the side to victory and a series win.

Beau Webster - 8

A Test debut to remember for the Tasmanian.

A half-century in the first innings and more runs later.

Alex Carey - 6

Not the biggest contribution with the bat but once again didn't put a foot wrong with the gloves.

Pat Cummins - 8

Pat Cummins - 8

The mastermind.

A Test series win over India as captain. What an achievement.

Just a tidy five wickets for the game too and claimed wickets at every crucial moment.

Under Cummins, Australia now owns the Ashes, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and World Test Championship.

Mitchell Starc - 6
10 / 12

Mitchell Starc - 6

Bowled extremely well in the first innings, claiming three scalps.

Couldn't find his line and length in the second innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal taking 16 runs off his first over.

Only bowled the four overs in that second dig.
