But, you know, we're bitterly disappointed.
We want to thank all the people that have supported us, all the English that have travelled so far to come here and support us right throughout the tour and to all the fans watching back home as well.
It's been a great series to be involved in, albeit our cricket hasn't necessarily been up to it, but we're appreciative of all the support we've had.
Yeah look I'm obviously disappointed with the outcome of the series and as coach you've got to put your hand up and say what could you have done better what could you have got right could have got better to ensure you got the right result but you know that's things we've got to look at over the next little while I'd love to carry on because I feel like we've got we've got some steps to take and we've got some some things that we can improve on some areas which even if we had won the series 5-0 you'd still look at an evolution of what you need to do and some areas which would be highlighted that you need to improve on and
And as a coach, that's what you try and do.
Ultimately, it's not up to you.
But from my point of view, I feel like we've got the makings of a good cricket team.
We haven't lived up to that down here, but we've got the makings of a good cricket team.
And I think there's some good years in front of English cricket.
It would be nice to be involved.
I'm all for progress and evolution in all sports, whether you're involved in them or not.
From my point of view, I have firm beliefs in what works and in some areas where you want to keep improving and some areas where you think that you can evolve.
I'm not against assistance, but I also have a firm belief in how to be able to get the best out of these players.
From my point of view, I'll look at it individually and say, what could I have done better and what can I improve on?
Am I for being told what to do?
Of course I'm not.
But at the same time, I'm not pig-headed to think that there's not some areas that we can improve on.
And once we digest what's unfolded over the last two months and start to plot and plan a way forward, if you're the man in the chair to do so, then you do so with a similar conviction and your methods, albeit with a couple of tweaks.
When I took the job on I remember the situation English Cricket was in and I felt it was a great opportunity to be able to use the resource that sits within English Cricket, the talent that sits within English Cricket and also the support base and the history which sits within English Cricket and see an opportunity particularly for the test side to ensure that whilst these challenges
which are hitting the game all around the world with franchise cricket, etc., that you're still able to try and get the best players you possibly can, get them excited to come on tour and look forward to the challenge and to work with guys to get the best results.
