Pepel’s results: How were England humiliated

What went wrong for England in the ashes?

Sky Sports’ David Ruse:

The English campaign for the ash was misleading the wrong steps, with the inability to strike against Spin, regular fields and bizarre words and behavior criticized.

Prime Minister Spinner Sophie Ecclestone refused to interview former teammates Alex Hartley after the latter questioned the fitness of England after leaving the T20 World Cup.

In addition, coach Lewis suggested that tourists who did not match Australia athletically reduced to “cultural differences”, saying that their opponents had benefited from a lifestyle outdoors.

The players also insisted that England is not far from this comprehensive side of Australia, but the results have told a different story, and Edwards will not only need to produce results, but will also receive public support.

Seamer Kate Cross said ashes that the landing was probably lost to the English fans, and the renovation process began with that T20 series at West Indies home from May 21, Live on Sky Sports.

Edwards has a vanist for transforming the wealth of England and the dominant summer against West Indies, although the acid test will come to the World Cup on the subcontinent later in the year.

England hired the winner, now the team must become winners again – and truly test the Australian side.

They have not won the World Cup (50-story or T20) since 2017, and their last triumph ashes returned in 2014.
