Former captain Michael Vaughan has blasted England for their "embarrassing" defeat in The Ashes series as they relinquished the urn to Australia.
The tourists were dominated in the first and second Tests before Australia secured victory by 150 runs in the third meeting in Perth on Tuesday to end a run of three-straight defeats when competing for the urn.
"Australia have won by miles," Vaughan told BBC Sport. "From the minute they arrived at Gabba, it was a different Australia. They were going to make life difficult for England and the press joined in.
"England lost the three tosses but if I hear that as an excuse I will not be very happy. They have been completely outplayed in each facet of the game and you have to hold your hands up to Australia.
"The first innings scores are there to set the foundation for the game, you are not getting close to drawing let alone winning test matches with the scores England have got. England have been battered. It has been quite embarrassing."
The win ends Australia's run of 1,577 days without the urn, following England's victory in August 2009.
