England's Batting Has Been 'Exposed' And It's 'Embarrassing', Believes Geoffrey Boycott

By IANS News January 17, 2022 • 14:54 PM View: 1168

Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott has slammed Joe Root and Cos show during the recently-concluded Ashes, saying the batters being exposed on Australian soil was 'embarrassing'. England's dismal Ashes campaign ended 4-0 in favour of Australia as the tourists crashed to 124 all out from 68/0 on day three of pink-ball Test at Hobart.

"England's batsmanship has been exposed as embarrassing. This whole series has been about the poor standard of batting technique, lack of footwork, judgement around off stump about what to play and what to leave. They have lacked patience and sheer bloody-minded determination to make the opposition bowlers bowl you out with good balls," wrote Boycott in his column for The Telegraph on Monday.
