You wouldn’t expect too many changes to the Australia side and approach, but England need to rethink their blueprint of how they do things. They are half way there.

To be honest, what I saw in England in 2023 is the same as what I’ve seen now.

They had a way of play, and they were proud of that, and they thought that was the way to go and they were setting a new standard, but in the back of my mind I didn’t think it was going to work.

You have to have what they wanted but with mental hardness, resilience and toughness combined with it.

I saw them going out and playing and backing themselves – whether it is playing without fear or playing without pressure – that is two completely different things.

I thought it was more playing without pressure and if they play a bad shot, there was no accountability.

If one of our guys played a bad shot, they were nervous to come back into the changing room because of how the rest of the team would think about them and how they’d let the rest of the team down.

This series has been a big wake-up call. I think it has finally hit home that you need players where you can build that mental toughness and resilience and you need players that enjoy that pressure and can absorb that pressure and go out and play. It is not pretending that pressure isn’t there.

But I wouldn’t be quick to get rid of Brendon McCullum.

The England and Wales Cricket board want to go through and look at this tour and look at what’s wrong, but there needs to be the other side of what they’ve learnt and what are they now going to put into place.

If they want to continue the way they are, it is not going to work and maybe it is time for Baz to move on, but if he thinks he saw what the potential is and knows what he needs to add to that to make a reality, then maybe he is the guy to continue on.

There were positives. Jacob Bethell looks a class player at number three, while Josh Tongue needs to take the new ball a little bit more often because he was exceptional.

Joe Root is a class player and Brydon Carse is an absolute workhorse with the effort he put in.

There are positives that have come out of it, but there are a lot of things they need to do differently.

This defeat will hurt, but hopefully they’ll learn a lot from it and be more mentally resilient and mentally tough.

If they can bury that thought, they will be a tough team moving forward.
