And to me, it looks like he goes out every innings and it's just, I want to try and feel bad on ball and I'm going to try and get off to a good start.
I'm going to try and get to 10 or 15 or 20, whatever his number is, and then sort of settle into my innings.
But as you said, at Perth, he seemed composed.
He left well.
Since he chopped on at Brisbane, he doesn't look like he's left well at all.
It looks like he's trying to score off every ball, which is fine.
The intent to score has to be there.
You have to always look to score.
But in Australia, if you leave really well,
you have more chance of scoring runs.
I think it's incredibly tricky.
I think this whole team has been built around being positive, being taking a game on, being pushing the limits.
I think we've been fed that by them.
I think we've all been sucked in by it.
We've all enjoyed watching it.
That's why we've been so positive about them coming here, that they're going to come and play a different brand of cricket than they've been playing in the previous England teams.
They've got pace.
Their batters are going to take the game on.
They're going to put Australia under pressure, as they did in the last Ashes series in England, where they managed to get two wins at the end and put Australia under a hell of a lot of pressure towards the end.
So I think the disappointing thing from that point of view is that they changed the way they wanted to go about it, which I agree to some extent that you have to look to play the conditions.
