ASK GEORGE: "They're making basic errors repetitively"

WATCH: Chief correspondent GEORGE DOBELL answers readers' questions after England's defeat on the fifth evening at the Adelaide Oval

England lasted until the final session on the fifth day of the second Test but were ultimately well beaten by Australia, who are now just a single win from regaining the Ashes. For the tourists, the situation could hardly be less positive as they head to the MCG for the Boxing Day Test.

The Cricketer's chief correspondent takes questions from readers about events at the Adelaide Oval, including the possibility of call-ups from the Big Bash, Ollie Pope's struggles, Joe Root's captaincy and whether changes at the top might follow a demoralising series defeat.
