Shane Watson says that Australia were totally outplayed by India after being whitewashed in the four-Test series.

Shane Watson has said that Australia deserved to lose their Test series against India 4-0.

The home side won the fourth Test in three days to secure a series whitewash, with Australia posting scores of 262 and 164 in their batting innings.

The acting captain for the tourists told reporters: "It's extremely disappointing. We came here with high hopes of having a good series and the 4-0 is what we deserved. The Indians have totally outplayed us.

"We haven't played to our best unfortunately. It certainly has been a big learning curve and one of the biggest challenges for us as a team is continuing to learn very quickly.

"For all of us as top-order batsmen, it has been very disappointing. We have to be scoring big runs if we want to be considered in the top six and playing consistently. We've all got to continue to strive for what Michael [Clarke] has been able to achieve as a batsman."

Watson, along with three other players, was suspended from the third Test of the series for failing to complete a feedback exercise.
