Anderson Criticises Ben Stokes’ Post-Ashes Praise For England, Questions Team Culture
Questions over England’s team culture intensified following their 1-4 defeat to Australia in the Ashes, with the manner of the loss drawing almost as much scrutiny as the result itself. England were outplayed across conditions, preparation, and execution, and criticism has focused on what many see as a lack of intensity and discipline away from the match days.
The gap between the two sides was stark. Australia arrived battle-hardened, while England’s decision to play virtually no warm-up matches before the series raised eyebrows. As the contest wore on, accusations surfaced that England’s players were too relaxed between Tests, an approach that failed to translate into competitiveness once play resumed.
