Test Match Special · The Ashes: Inquest begins for England as Australia make it 4-1 · 8 Jan 2026 podcast

Yeah, well, there's obviously, there will be a lot of time to reflect on it and I think we're like, you know, we started so well in the first, you know, couple of years and then now what we've, you know, we've done, we're just sort of slowly eking downwards, which is never a good place to be at and as a team and yeah, look, it's,

each individual in this team to kick on and be a better player than they already are and then also you know as a team with our mentality towards you know how we take the game of Test cricket on as England and also you know identifying what we need to do in big moments of the game because too many occasions this series and even before this we've done it to ourselves where we've been in a very very strong position and yeah we've let teams back into games where we're in control of it.

There's moments that have happened before this series where we've done it to ourselves, done it by decisions that we've decided to take out there in the middle when we're either in a strong position or the game's there for the taking for us.

I think we just need to be a lot better at playing the percentages in our favour.

I felt like I got a group of men who were able to find levels of their ability that they might not have been able to unlock.

Glenn?

Yeah, listening to Ben Stokes there, he said a lot of things.

I guess he was pretty honest.

The thing I liked the most was he said it's time for the players to take more pressure, to absorb more pressure.

And all I'd heard from when Brendan McCullen first came in was about releasing the pressure.

There's no pressure.

We want our players to play without pressure.

which, you know, your good players go out there and play, your great players absorb the pressure and they enjoy the pressure and that's when they lift.

So, yeah, you know, I think it's not about getting rid of pressure, it's about enjoying pressure, handling it and, you know, having the belief that you're good enough to play in these situations and you can compete at this time.

And, oh, I say accountability.

You know, you've got to be accountable to yourself, to your teammates, to your country, you know,

You come off and you analyse your own performance and you think, OK, what could I have done better today to have helped my team?

What did I learn from today?

If they're asking those questions of each other and as a team every day, they can't help but get better.

If you come in the room and go, oh, bad luck today, you know, you got caught on the fence slogging again, oh, tomorrow you might hit that one a bit better.
