The Ashes series may already be won by the Australian Kangaroos, but the simple errors that the team have made in achieving that feat will not be overlooked by Kevin Walters.
A dominant win on enemy turf may on paper look promising for the Australian team, however the live performance has been heavily criticised by greats of the game.
Greg Alexander has been a vocal critic of the team, slamming the low standard of football and simple errors made by big money players in the green and gold jersey.

In fact, Alexander believes NRL teams can beat that played in Liverpool in the second Test last Sunday.
Across the 160 minutes of football played in England, Australia have recorded far more errors (30) and conceded four more penalties compared to the host nation.
The second Test was the worst in terms of negative play errors for the Kangaroos, with 15 errors, nine penalties, four ruck infringements and two players sent to the sin bin.
Australia also missed a larger number of tackles (49) compared to England (39).
While Alexander was overall critical of the teams performance, others have called out the individual performances of some players in attack.
Lindsay Collins and Lindsay Smith were two of the individuals mentioned, with the duo only featuring for 22 and 14 minutes respectively each.
Meanwhile, Shibasaki made the least amount of runs (6) out of any edge attacker.
The criticism of those players has not gone unheard by those in England, nor has the noise fallen short of the ears of Walters.
Walters responded to such comments, hinting that changes could be made.
"I'm going to take a little bit more time to settle on the 17," Walters said on SEN 1170.
"Everyone is obviously looking forward to the team being announced.
"I'm going to keep my cards close to my chest … Defensively we were very good, but our attack hasn't been what we would've liked. I'm not going to give too much away."

With skipper Isaah Yeo likely to return for game three, Smith could see his name fall out of the 17 and Collins will move back to the bench.
But Alexander is in full support of the idea to give those in the extended reserves, especially the likes of Jacob Preston, Mitchell Moses and Bradman Best a run.
Given the criticism of Shibasaki, Bradman Best, who has been the 18th man in the first two matches, would be his likely replacement in the backline.
If Preston is to receive his international debut under Walters on Sunday, it would be likely that he would step into the position currently held by Keaon Koloamatangi.
Blayke Brailey, Dylan Edwards and Ethan Strange have also travelled to England, but have not been named in the 20-man squad that gets announced on Wednesday.
Edwards, a four-time premiership winner, was in a tightly fought battle ahead of the Ashes to retain the No.1 jersey, but lost out to 2025 premiership winner Reece Walsh.
But the Penrith Panthers star looked set to earn a spot in the starting line-up when Walsh was sent to the sin bin after hitting Dom Young high in the second Test.
However, Walsh has avoided any suspension for that incident, meaning he will be free to start at fullback for his third consecutive Test.
If that is to be the case, Edwards would be a tourist travelling with the Ashes squad.
Walters will also be looking to decide whether he plays his alternative halves pairing, being Tom Dearden and Moses, for the final Test.
The star duo are no strangers to what it takes to lead the Australian team victory, having previously lead the nation to win the Pacific Championships title last year.
