I believe they need to’ve taken just a little bit of knowledge or spoken to individuals on that tour to work out why did they’ve three warm-up video games, why did you may have a bootcamp in Germany?
“(This 12 months’s preparation) wasn’t taken as severely as an Ashes interval (needs to be).
“Australia are a tricky group, the boys are exhausting,” he continued.
“You play in opposition to them they usually will not offer you an inch as a result of they’re a powerful aspect. We have underestimated them a bit, Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum particularly. Now they’re in all probability placing their hand up and pondering, ‘we did get the preparation unsuitable’.
“There was not sufficient cricket being performed to adapt to the Australian circumstances, it was extra relaxation and restoration, which possibly (solely) works in England.
