Australia’s white-ball tour of England proved to be an overall success and a lot can be learned from the T20 and One Day International series.
The T20 series finished level at 1-1 after the third match was washed out by the weather, while the Aussies edged a thrilling ODI series 3-2.
They looked to be romping to victory after winning the opening two matches, before England fought back to level the series.
Rain almost ruined the decider but Australia did enough before the heavens opened to secure the series win.
Australia will now return home to get ready for a busy summer, but what did we learn from trip to England?
One thing we learned from the tour of the UK is the fact that Australia are not short of options to open the batting.
Following the retirement of David Warner, a spot alongside Travis Head at the very top of the order was up for grabs.
Mitch Marsh is one option for the Aussies, but now they have another in the form of Matt Short.
With Marsh missing the decider in Bristol due to soreness, Short stepped in and grabbed the opportunity with both hands.
Short smashed 58 runs off 30 deliveries and is now in the frame to open the batting on a regular basis with Head.
Everyone knew that Travis Head was very good, but he moved his game on to yet another level in England.
His innings in the first ODI against England was from another planet as he finished on 154 not-out to guide the Aussies to victory.
The rest of his innings were less spectacular, with his 59 runs in the opening T20 clash his next biggest knock, but he was solid throughout.
Head is now one of the first names on the Aussie team sheet.
Alex Carey does not have too many happy memories of England following the stumping controversy in the Ashes.
However, he put all that behind him with some impressive performances with the bat in particular.
Carey, who was handed another chance due to injuries, controlled the middle-order and his 74 runs in the second ODI was particularly impressive.
The wicket-keeper is now back in the frame and can look forward to brighter times once again.
Another positive was the performance of Aaron Hardie, who impressed with both bat and ball.
The all-rounder has just a handful of appearances to his name, but chipped in with some crucial runs in Bristol, while he also showed moments of class with the ball.
Hardie is another who has a very bright future in the Australian white-ball sides.
One disappointment to come out of the tour was the fact that some of the younger players did not get much of a chance to shine.
The likes of Nathan Ellis and Riley Meredith struggled with injury, while Cooper Connolly and Jake Fraser-McGurk where unused during the ODI’s.
It means everyone is still none the wiser over whether they can cut it at the very top in the white-ball format.
They will of course still get a chance down the line, but the UK tour was something of a waste of time.
