"The cricketers themselves have to put their hands up. There are some fine cricketers there. Now they have to go out there and do the business."
Warne was equally critical. "Everything they have tried has gone wrong and it has been very disappointing," he said.
"It just shows a lack of fight and match awareness of what needed to happen. The use of DRS was useless. It is important they try to stand together. It is a real test of character for these guys representing Australia."
Australia's coach accepted his players have to start learning from their errors and criticised Rogers for requesting the review of Shane Watson's lbw dismissal.
"It was a bad day," Darren Lehmann said. "We did not bat well full stop. The referrals could have been better. Rogers got it wrong. He told Shane to take it. He should then have used one on himself but probably didn't want to after wasting one. As long as they learn from it, that is the main thing.
"We have got the bowling side of it right in terms of referrals but the batsmen have got to get it right. The key thing for us is making more runs. Simple. The top order failed again and we need to make sure we are learning from our mistakes. From the first innings in Notts to here we have shown glimpses but we have to show more. It was more one-day batting than test match batting today."
Lehmann cuts the happy figure in public playing up to his nickname of Shrek, but he is also known for straight talking and admitted to giving the team a lecture after play.
"It is disappointing as a coach but we are always trying to learn. We are not shying away from that issue. We have to improve our batting over periods of time and bat a lot more than 55 overs. We believe the plans are right, it is just shot selection that was poor. Eight out of the 10 [dismissals] were self-inflicted."
Swann confessed that England goad opposition batsmen into gambling on a review, a form of sledging that is more likely to work against a team as inexperienced as Australia's. Rogers is 35 but new to test cricket. His advice to Watson was poor for a player with 15 years in first-class cricket. It was also ill-timed for his opening partner as it appeared to prove the selfishness Mickey Arthur accused him of in leaked court documents.
Rogers then decided not to review his own lbw which Hawkeye proved would have missed leg stump. Phil Hughes also reviewed his caught behind, instantly appealing the decision but audio evidence confirmed the decision of the on-field umpire.
"It happens quite a lot. You say go on go on do it. It is a double bluff, like a game of poker," said Swann. "I'm glad Chris Rogers didn't do it."
Swann's five for 44 put him on the honours board for the second time, and in years to come the figures will hide the freakish dismissal of Rogers which started it all.
"I am not sure there has been a worse piece of cricket in test history and I am delighted to be at the centre of that. I am sure he is as embarrassed about it as I was. It is one of those things. It completely slipped out of my hand. It did well even to be going anywhere near the wickets."
