The reaction from the UK to England's 'bloody stupid' Ashes disaster has been... brutal 👇
England fought back in the second innings thanks to Root and Dawid Malan building a partnership, before losing 8-74 on Day 4 and setting Australia a winning chase of only 20 runs, which they did easily.
"England Lions were bowled out for 103 in their first innings against Australia A so the reserve batting line-up aren't kicking on with massive runs either. There is a problem with red-ball batting in general for England at the moment.""Why are we so bloody stupid?" Boycott wrote. "Ben hasn't played for five months, had a finger operation and rain ruined his practice. Then his first knock was on a testing pitch against, in my view, the two best seam bowlers in the world - Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.
