Australia maintained their dominance as they registered an emphatic eight-wicket win over England in the second Ashes Test in Brisbane on Sunday.

England legend Ian Botham criticised Bazball, suggesting that Ben Stokes and his team should consider returning home if they refuse to adapt after their embarrassing defeat in Perth.

England great Ian Botham voiced concern about the side's Ashes preparations, stating that not playing at least one game against a state team "borders on arrogance".

England will play just one match in their preparation ahead of the Ashes Test series against Australia Down Under.

England will play a solitary three-day warm-up against the travelling England Lions at Lilac Hill before walking out for the first Test at Perth's Optus Stadium on November 21.

Ben Stokes was the 'Player of the Match' during the third Test win against India at Lord's, scoring knocks of 44 and 33 in the match and taking five wickets.

Botham, 68, was left with big bruises and scars on his body due to the incident. His flip-flops had reportedly tangled on a rope while he was trying to board the boat, leading to the accident.

Legendary all-rounder Ian Botham feels that England's ultra-aggressive 'Bazball' approach under Ben Stokes has infused new life into Test cricket.

Since Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes became head coach and captain respectively, England have redefined the way the traditional format is played.
