England have lost their way, says 'embarrassed' Ian Botham after Australia win 3rd Ashes Test inside 3 days

Former England all-rounder Ian Botham came down hard on Joe Root's team after they suffered their third successive defeat in The Ashes against Australia in Melbourne on Tuesday.

Cricket legend Ian Botham said he "felt a little embarrassed" after witnessing England go down by an innings and 14 runs in the Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne on Tuesday.

Australia took a first innings lead of 82 runs on Monday and then bowled out England for 68 in their second innings on Day 3 after the tourists resumed on their overnight score of 31 for 4 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
