England to investigate reports of players drinking excessively during Ashes
Former England coach Paul Farbrace criticized the England cricket team's behavior during the 2017-18 Ashes series, calling them "dopey" for public drinking in Noosa. Farbrace explained that the Australian media's aggressive nature added pressure on the team, but England should have anticipated that. He emphasized that the team's poor performance, not the drinking, was the main reason behind their series loss to Australia.
