And when you have to work and grind wickets on pitches like this, when catches come along, you've got to take them.
Obviously, no one means to drop them, but we've dropped too many catches, which has just always put us behind the eight ball a little bit.
But, yeah, hard conditions, and we just didn't have the,
patience you know the patience to stick it out and get a big score get a 500 you know keep in the heat pit in the top of us now you know and Australia did.
We're obviously looking from an English perspective Glenn you're looking in from an Australian perspective on this England side what do you what do you see in this England side where have they gone wrong?
Yeah, it is.
Australia being the most successful team at home in the history of Test cricket.
Right, let's get some reaction now from the England captain, Ben Stokes, with Jonathan Agnew.
Ben is walking here, and he's actually walking relatively freely.
I know, Ben.
That kind of sums it up, really.
Is he coming off yesterday at the end of that series?
How are you physically?
You're not the first England captain to lose here and you won't be the last.
But I wonder how you feel when you do analyse it going back after this?
I wonder how much of a warning note that defeat to India was in the last test match of the summer against Rural, where you had wrapped up to win.
Was that, in hindsight now, a warning bell?
Well, again, I say it's not just this series.
identifying those moments where teams now target us when we are looking like we're in cruise mode and controlling the game and taking the responsibility on as a player when you're out there in the middle of you know just keep going and not giving the opposition a sift because i feel like we've done that too often yeah and is that something that that's been put on the players if you like have the players been made to feel i think of jamie smith's dismissal here perhaps as being an example of the players feeling under pressure to have to push a game and perhaps it's not the right time to do so
Again, it's about identifying those moments and looking where the game is at.
