Former England skipper Michael Atherton said their over-reliance on test skipper Joe Root and a lack of preparation had hurt them in the opening clash of their five-match Ashes series against Australia.
Former England skipper Michael Atherton slammed the Joe Root-led side after the 9-wicket Gabba defeat, saying a lack of preparation had hurt them in the opening Ashes game. England crumbled from 223 for 2 to 297-all out and could only set a 20-run target, which was shot down in just 31 balls by the hosts.
England have slipped to the 7th spot in the 8-team World Test Championship 2021-23 table with just 9 points from 5 matches. Joe Root's men were trailing 1-2 against India at home in a 5-Test series.
