England’s cricket stars have been criticised for hiding in the dressing room after their embarrassing Ashes defeat.
Captain Joe Root was on the only player who took the field after England were bowled out for 68 at the MCG on Tuesday morning.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan said the other players should have stood by him on the pitch while he fielded questions from former player and pundit Adam Gilchrist.

‘What I didn’t like, when Joe Root was doing the press and doing the interview with Gilly, and I didn’t see any other England players out there. I didn’t like that,’ Vaughan told Fox Cricket.
‘I didn’t like the fact that the England players – they went straight down into the dressing room. They’re embarrassed.
‘And of course you’re embarrassed. You’ve just performed poorly, you’ve just been bowled out for 68. Show face, get on the pitch, support your captain.
‘The captain’s going to answer all the questions now, he has done. Well, his team have got to be right beside him even in the tough times.’
England slumped to a humiliating defeat on the third morning at the MCG, bowled out for a pathetic 68 as Australia moved into an unassailable 3-0 lead and retained the Ashes in spectacular style.
Resuming at 31 for four, the tourists needed 51 more to avoid an innings defeat, with Joe Root and Ben Stokes at the crease and England fans praying for the miracle that these days feels like their only path to victory.
Instead, the last six tumbled for 22 as Scott Boland, Australia’s 32-year-old debutant seamer, took a barely believable six for seven, and England fell to their lowest total in Australia since March 1904, when they made 61, also at Melbourne.
