Ben Stokes has not won any of the 10 Tests he has played in Australia

Captain Ben Stokes said he can accept criticism of his England team but believes allegations of arrogance are "too far".

England have come under heavy scrutiny for the manner and response to their crushing defeat by Australia in the first Ashes Test.

The tourists threw away a dominant position to lose inside two days in Perth, then opted not to send any of the XI from the first Test to play in an England Lions match against the Prime Minister's XI in Canberra.

Former Australia pace bowler Mitchell Johnson called England "arrogant" and "cocky Poms" who are at risk of "serious embarrassment".
