Ashes: Bazball Yielded A Culture That Lacks Accountability, Says McGrath
New Delhi: Former Australia cricketer Glenn McGrath believes England's Ashes squad lacks "accountability" and labelled it "embarrassing" after the visitors lost back-to-back matches and trail five-match series 0-2 against Australia.
In the day-night pink-ball Test in Brisbane this week, England were soundly defeated after losing the first Test in Perth from a highly advantageous position due to a fourth-innings century from Travis Head and a batting collapse of their own.
England's odds of winning the series in Australia after a 15-year drought are at 0–2. “Not in Australia’s wildest dreams could they have believed they would be 2-0 up in this Ashes series after playing only six days of cricket," McGrath wrote a coloumn in BBC Sport.
