Allan Border, the former Australian captain who played a key role in the revival of Australian cricket in the 1980s is embarrassed by the performance of the top order batsmen.

“If that was me in the top three, I’d be embarrassed,” Border wrote to Cricket Australia’s subscribers as he delivered a brutally honest assessment, the Daily Mail reported.
England won the second Ashes Test within four days to hand Australia their sixth Test defeat in a row. It was also the first time England have won the first two Tests in a home Ashes series since W G Grace’s side in 1890.
