England's managing director of men's cricket Rob Key says he will investigate the drinking habits of the England team following reports that their mid-Ashes beach resort break may have involved over-indulging of alcohol. England lost each of the first three tests to allow Australia to retain the Ashes in just 11 days of on-field action. “I didn't feel like that was worthy of formal warnings, but it was probably worthy of informal ones,” he said. Australia coach Andrew McDonald said he expected his team to be firing on all cylinders after celebrating their victory on Sunday. I don't think there'll be any hangover.
