Following hundreds from all-rounder Annabel Sutherland and wicketkeeper Beth Mooney, Australian spinners Ash Gardner and Alana King ripped through England’s middle order to seal the historic feat.
It marks the first time a team has won all seven matches in a women’s Ashes series since the multi-format system was introduced in 2013.
‘BETTER THAN SCORE SUGGESTS’: Captain defends Ashes thrashing
‘COMPLACENT, ENTITLED’: Poms lashed for historic low
TALKING POINTS: Depth of England’s problems exposed
BETH MOONEY — 9
409 runs at 68.16, HS 106
The ever-reliable Beth Mooney finished as the campaign’s leading run-scorer, registering the most runs in a women’s Ashes campaign since 1998.
After a flawless T20 series — where she outscored England in Adelaide — the left-hander cracked her maiden Test century at the MCG to become the first Australian woman to hit a century in all three formats.
She also took over the glovework from Alyssa Healy for the second half of the series after the Australian captain sustained a foot injury.
ALYSSA HEALY — 7
148 runs at 37.00, HS 70
Healy got her Ashes campaign off to a flying start by cracking a half-century in the series opener at North Sydney Oval.
However, the Australian skipper missed the T20s due to a foot injury, returning as a specialist batter for the pink-ball Test, where she contributed some handy runs.
GEORGIA VOLL — 3
61 runs at 15.25, HS 23
Voll made her T20I and Test debuts during the Ashes, but couldn’t leave her mark on the series.
The Queenslander, who took an excellent diving catch during the Adelaide T20, was dismissed cheaply in the MCG Test after a lazy waft outside the off stump.
PHOEBE LITCHFIELD — 4
147 runs at 21.00, HS 45
It was a quiet campaign for opener Litchfield, who failed to reach fifty in any of the seven matches.
The talented left-hander survived a tricky passage of play during the evening session of day one at the MCG, helping take the shine off the pink Kookaburra.
ELLYSE PERRY — 3
99 runs at 14.14, HS 60
Australian superstar Perry will be disappointed with her contributions across this summer’s Ashes.
The 34-year-old, who sustained a hip injury during the MCG Test, notched a half-century during the Melbourne ODI, top-scoring in a bowler-dominated contest, but otherwise struggled to get going against the old enemy.
However, she was arguably one of Australia’s best fielders across the campaign, particularly in the outfield during the white-ball matches.
ANNABEL SUTHERLAND — 7
218 runs at 31.14, HS 163
Five wickets at 41.60, BB 2-42
After a forgettable white-ball campaign with the bat, Sutherland cemented her name on the MCG Honour Boards with an elegant century in the pink-ball Test. It was her third Test hundred, equalling the Australian women’s record.
She was occasionally expensive with ball in hand, particularly during the ODIs, but she remains one of the most exciting talents in the game.
ASH GARDNER — 9
190 runs at 63.33, HS 102
Nine wickets at 17.00, BB 4-39
Despite missing the T20s with a calf strain, Gardner was the best all-rounder from this summer’s Ashes campaign.
After smacking her maiden ODI hundred in Hobart, rescuing the Australians after an early collapse, the off-spinner claimed five wickets in the MCG Test to help the hosts seal a 16-0 whitewash.
She also held onto a juggling catch on the boundary during the Hobart ODI, one of the fielding highlights of the summer.
TAHLIA MCGRATH — 6
145 runs at 29.00, HS 55
Two wickets at 18.00, BB 1-4
Dropping down the order to No. 7, McGrath made some valuable contributions across the Ashes campaign in her new role, most notably during the Hobart ODI and Canberra T20.
The South Australian also led her country into a T20 whitewash after captain Alyssa Healy sustained a foot injury.
GRACE HARRIS — 7
60 runs at 30.00, HS 35*
Pinch-hitter Harris nailed her role during the T20 leg of the campaign against England.
The Queenslander’s late blitz during the nail-biting Canberra T20, which included three sixes, proved the difference between the two sides.

23 wickets at 11.17, BB 5-46
All hail the King.
The leg-spinner equalled the record for most wickets in a women’s Ashes series by snaring a maiden Test five-fa during the MCG clash, getting her name on the iconic Honour Board.
She also claimed career-best ODI figures during the Hobart match, while a couple of her ripping leg-breaks will be shown in highlights reels for years to come.
GEORGIA WAREHAM — 8
Eight wickets at 10.50, BB 3-11
Despite spending multiple matches on the sidelines carrying drinks, Wareham was at her damaging best with the Kookaburra when given the opportunity.
The leg-spinner ripped through England’s middle order during T20s in Sydney and Adelaide, while her unbeaten batting cameo during the Hobart ODI proved decisive.
MEGAN SCHUTT — 7
Eight wickets at 25.75, BB 3-57
Veteran seamer Schutt got her Ashes campaign off to a dreadful start by taking a wicket on a no-ball during the North Sydney Oval, but she hardly put a foot wrong after the early blunder.
Capable of swinging the ball during the Powerplay and returning for death overs, she remains one of Australia’s biggest weapons with the ball.
KIM GARTH — 8
Nine wickets at 21.33, BB 3-37
Garth was exceptional with the new ball during the ODIs, rattling England’s top-order in North Sydney and Melbourne.
Her influence dwindled as the series progressed, albeit taking a couple of crucial scalps during the pink-ball Test at the MCG.

Six wickets at 20.00, BB 2-25
After a terrible T20 World Cup campaign in the United Arab Emirates, Brown bounced back in the women’s Ashes with a handful of valuable performances.
Despite showing signs of rust during the ODIs, the South Australian seamer was at the peak of her powers with the pink Kookaburra at the MCG, producing an absolute peach to knock over England opener Maia Bouchier in the second innings.
