The Ashes 2013-14: England outplayed in all areas - Andy Flower

England team director Andy Flower says Australia have played "outstanding" cricket during the Ashes series and that his team have been "outplayed in every facet" of the game.

Flower said it was "doubly disappointing" for the urn to be lost in just three Test matches, after England were beaten by 150 runs in Perth to go 3-0 down in the series with two Tests to play.

However, Flower refused to be drawn on his own future saying his focus is solely on the remaining Ashes Tests in Melbourne and Sydney.
