Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has sharply criticized England's 1-4 Ashes series loss to Australia, labeling them 'paper tigers.' Gavaskar cited media hype and a lack of commitment, suggesting England's aggressive 'Bazball' approach lost its surprise element. He noted that touring Australia is difficult and England's performance, marred by off-field issues, was not unexpected for neutral observers. Gavaskar also drew parallels to India's past series defeats in challenging conditions.
