Aussies preparing to analyze 'disappointing' Ashes result

Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland said on Sunday there would be a review of the team's "disappointing" Ashes loss to England as he paid tribute to retiring captain Michael Clarke.

Clarke, 34, said on Saturday he would retire from international cricket after the fifth Test at The Oval, following England's crushing win over Australia by an innings and 78 runs in the fourth Test at Trent Bridge to win the Ashes with an unbeatable 3-1 lead.

"It's a disappointing end to an Ashes series," Sutherland said in Melbourne.
