Australia sealed a dominant Test win over Bangladesh inside two days, with Mitchell Starc once more ripping through the visitors' batting order. The victory completed a memorable tour for Bangladesh, who had taken the first Test and pushed Australia hard in the second.
Starc's decisive spell
Mitchell Starc was the key figure in the final day's play, as he tore through Bangladesh's lower order to wrap up the match in quick time. His performance capped a series in which he had already troubled the tourists in earlier innings.
Bangladesh's spirited tour
Despite the heavy defeat in the final Test, Bangladesh's overall display drew praise. They had won the first Test and, in the second, Shoriful had rocked Australia with a lively spell. The side, led by Shanto, showed great fight despite being outmatched in resources and personnel.
Call for more tours
Following the match, attention turned to the future. There was a call for Cricket Australia to schedule Bangladesh as a regular touring side, rather than an occasional curiosity. The sentiment was echoed by those who had enjoyed the entertainment provided over the course of the series.
