(Reuters) - England's heavy 275-run loss to Australia in the second Ashes test on Monday had former players questioning not only the tourists' team selection in Adelaide but also their batting abilities.

Australia went 2-0 up in the five-match series and Monday marked 4,000 days since England had won an Ashes test Down Under, their last victory coming in the 2010-11 series.
