The Australian coach was fuming after England Lions opener Ben Duckett became the latest to derail their Ashes campaign with another boozy bar incident.

Duckett is understood to have poured a drink over senior bowler Jimmy Anderson for a joke in the early hours of Friday morning at the same bar in Perth where Jonny Bairstow got in hot water for head-butting Aussie opener Cameron Bancroft.  

Bayliss could barely contain his anger that repeated lectures to the players are being ignored, and is understood to be livid the same names - thought to be two or three of the current playing XI - keep cropping up in alcohol-related incidents. 

Neither the England coach nor the ECB board have ruled out giving the repeat offenders the axe from the Test squad, even if it results suffer.

However no one from the Ashes squad will be sent home.

“I think it [the incident] was fairly trivial but in the current climate it is not acceptable,” said Bayliss.

“Everyone has been warned about how even small things can be blown out of all proportion. 

“And the ECB have also been quite strict to the boys with their message.

He added: "It was after midnight - some of our first team were there which I allowed to happen and there were no curfews so they weren’t breaking any rules from that point of view.

"But they can’t keep making the same mistakes again. And it may be that we have to review who is in the team.”

England were made aware of the incident on Friday and Duckett was dropped from the Lions side to play Cricket Australia XI at Richardson Park yesterday.  

The batsman had been  one of a large party of England players - 10 senior Test players and a group of the Lions squad - who took advantage of the curfew being lifted on Thursday setting out for The Avenue after a first team quiz night at the team hotel which finished around 11pm.

After several drinks, Duckett is understood to have poured one over Jimmy Anderson, ostensibly as a joke. However Reg Dickason, England’s head of security, had been told by Andrew Strauss to report back every incident, however small, to team management.

When he informed them what had gone on they hit the roof.

Duckett replaced by Joe Clarke in the Lions line-up. But there seems every likelihood coach Andy Flower will send Duckett home from the tour when he decides on a punishment today.

The Northamptonshire opener has had a string of disciplinary breaches over fitness related to his late-night lifestyle including when sent home from a county pre-season in Barbados in March 2015.

He also has a drink driving conviction from the same year after he drove his car into a ditch.

Bayliss is frustrated that the drinking habits of a small group within the current Test set-up that is threatening once again to overshadow preparations, this time for a Test England cannot afford to lose.

And while he stressed that he is set to name an unchanged side from the one which lost in Adelaide, it is clear that two or possibly three of the current squad are on thin ice.

The latest incident follows on from Ben Stokes’s arrest in Bristol in late September following a ODI match against West Indies. Alex Hales, Bairstow, Jake Ball and Liam Plunkett received written warnings from the ECB for their late night drinking that night.

On the first night of the Ashes tour Bairstow got into trouble for his head butt greeting and Bayliss and Strauss are concerned that the message on drinking responsibly is not getting through.

There is currently no suggestion that Anderson is in hot water for his part in the night or that anyone from the Test squad will be sent home.

But it seems likely that some of the more persistent offenders could be hit with the axe for the New Zealand tour of the start of the English summer.
