ASK GEORGE: "We have to refocus on first-class cricket"

WATCH: Chief correspondent GEORGE DOBELL answers readers' questions after England's dismal defeat on day three in Melbourne

It was all over quite quickly on day three in Melbourne, with England skittled out for 68 to lose by an innings and 14 runs and surrender the series to Australia.

The Cricketer's chief correspondent takes questions from readers about events at the MCG, including the value of Test cricket, Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow's Test futures and the stigma of being a white-ball specialist.
