England were beaten 4-1 in Australia, their fourth successive away Ashes series defeat
England were "feckless, reckless and legless" on their dismal Ashes tour of Australia, according to the editor of the prestigious Wisden Almanack.
Ben Stokes' side were beaten 4-1 on a trip dogged by poor on-field performances, sloppy preparation and allegations of a drinking culture.
Lawrence Booth delivered his damning assessment in the influential editor's notes of the 163rd edition of the Almanack, which is published on Thursday.
"England arrived for the Ashes hell-bent on making history, and ended up being laughed out of town," wrote Booth.
