The British media has not taken the Saturday's Ashes pummeling of the England team at the Gabba lightly, which was evident from the headlines and reports in a number of reputed British newspapers.
Along with Jonathan Trott, whose batting flaws were completely exposed by Mitchell Johnson on the third day of the Ashes opener at the Gabba, his teammates Graeme Swann and Chris Tremlett also came in for special attention from their country's media.
According to News.com.au, The Daily Mail said that the English bowling attack, with the exception of Stuart Broad and James Anderson, has not looked overly dangerous, which does not bode well for the remaining Tests, adding that Swann and Tremlett were specially ineffective.
Meanwhile, The Telegraph forecast changes for the second Test in Adelaide, although it believes that Tremlett is unlikely to be lucky as he has bowled way below the pace which terrorised Australia in 2010-11 and confirmed the view that his form had gone.
Captain Alastair Cook also came under fire for his lack of runs, with The Telegraph saying that England has yet to satisfactorily replace Andrew Strauss at the top of the order and adding that Cook and his lack of runs is costing England, which has not posted one 400 in the last dozen innings.
However, the paper hailed opener Michael Carberry, saying that he was one of the plusses of that first innings debacle.
