Thanks for joining us. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. Until next time, it's goodbye from the commentary desk. Cheers!

Presentation: Steven Smith: We did well to keep them down to 295. They bowled well in the middle, lost a few wickets in clumps before the Maxwell show. It was great to see him bat the way he did today. He scores so fast playing normal cricket shots, he's got all the shots. He plays so beautifully when he hits the ball in the right areas. Hopefully, he'll keep doing that. If I have my time over again, I may have batted first today. I didn't anticipate it to get so dry in the end. There's still room for improvement though.

Glenn Maxwell is the Player of the Match for his exhilarating 96: I wanted to shake off the tag of being called 'The Big Show'. So yes, this is special. They got a good score, to chase that down with James Faulkner in the end is unbelievable. I feel like I've been making big strides over the last few months. The way I'm hitting the ball and approaching the game is different to what I've been doing over the last few years. It's unfortunately not much of a break until Canberra, so maybe we'll have a small celebration tonight.

MS Dhoni: It's tough to take. We didn't field well tonight. There were at least three boundaries we should have easily stopped. The batsmen are working hard, but we're always talking about 10-15 extra runs. This was a slightly different wicket, but there was not much the batsmen could have done. 295 was a good total. Sran didn't have a good day, so it became difficult for himself, and I couldn't rotate the bowlers. Rishi and Gurkeerat bowled well, so we somewhat covered up for Ashwin's absence. There is some encouragement, it is tough when you lose games but you have to realise the bowling attack is largely inexperienced. It's good to see Ishant bowl well in the middle, but when there's a bit of pressure, the fast bowlers leak runs.

Two Rohit tons, and now a Kohli century in vain. A better performance from the bowlers and the fielders, but was still not enough to stop the Australians. Could have been a lot closer, but Maxwell was the difference between the sides on the night. A terrific exhibition of uninhibited hitting took the game away from India at a time when the game was on a knife's edge. Ishant bowled well, but Umesh and Sran were far too inconsistent. Even Jadeja's effort, which would have been enough on most nights, was scant consolation for Dhoni's men on the night.

Chandra: "If there was one pitch in which Jadeja and Ashwin should have played together is this one and India make the mistake of dropping Ashwin for this match. "

Mark: "I think this series has shown a real difference in the cricket culture between India and Australia. Australia see more than just the middle of the pitch: they see every square metre of the ground, which leads to the philosophy that pressure has to be put on the field and from the field."

Raees Ul Haq: "All three Asian Cricket giants are having a hard time in Australia and New Zealand this summer . First it was Sri Lanka, Now India and Pakistan has a chance to win the T20 series even though they got thrashed today ."

Didn't someone say the other night that it's written in Faulkner's contract to hit the winning runs? He's done it again

Shyam: "We really cant blame fielders as well today, they have done excellent in saving those extra 10-20 runs India lacked. But if even they cannot inspire bowlers to bowl to their fields, nothing can"
