you know, hanging back and just waiting, you know, instead of them trying to force the game, they've had to sort of think to themselves, well, you know, I'd like to play poker against this England side, if you know what I'm trying to say.

Totally.

You know, because they play in a fashion that you can just sort of like maneuver around now.

When it first started happening, you know, people were a little bit taken aback about it.

Like, oh, crikey, what do we do now?

What do we do now?

Let's...

You know, how do we counter-attack it?

But now good sides, good captains around the world have sort of like seen that and said that they're not going to adapt.

They're just going to keep going.

They're just going to keep going.

So why don't we just sort of like just chill out a little bit and let them come back to us instead of... And I sort of disagree with Ben there a little bit, saying that they haven't stepped up to the big moments.

It's just that they've been outmanoeuvred at those big moments.

One thing I think is fascinating, though, is that these sort of mistakes that England have made in this series, they have actually been making for a couple of years.

Actually, Ben Stokes referred to it, didn't he?

He said, you know, we've been making these mistakes for a couple of years.

He said it started off very well for a couple of years.

And then it's been happening a few times.

So what I find intriguing is why didn't they think...

to Australia that actually we need to adjust and play in a slightly different way and not make these glaring errors that they've made.
