That's how you do play sport.

It's just a case of whether the players that you have can all do that together at the same rate and in the same way.

I think probably the main problem that I would have with the way things have been done is that there's no middle ground and it's just completely all in or all out and that's it and there's no flexibility.

Either you agree this, either you play like this, either you do that.

I mentioned to Ben Stokes, I think you heard it, about Jamie Smith's dismissal and whether that kind of illustrated the way.

and he I thought actually rather blamed Smith for that as being a poor choice which it obviously was but was that poor choice driven by the team approach and the messaging that they're getting so I'll be very interested to see what McCullen does I don't think he's going to sit there like a naughty boy in the headmaster's office and be told you did this wrong you did that wrong you will change this you will change that and if you don't change it you're out of a job I think he'll walk out of the door

but if it's done in a way in which he can still keep his core beliefs and what he believes in, and I mentioned this now, then maybe there is a way forward for him in a different way.

I mean, it has to change.

I mean, we're not trying to cling to Brendan McCullum here.

What needs to change?

Well, I think that total lack of flexibility and no discipline.

Discipline on the field, discipline off the field.

That has to be addressed.

That has to be addressed.

You know, there are...

issues that you hear about and you read about and you see for yourself off the field and there's a lack of discipline on the field.

Let's be honest.

If you compare it to Australia, you've got the most disciplined cricket team in the world playing against probably the most ill-disciplined cricket team in the world and the difference is there for anybody to see.

And so that is a big one for me.

And if you're not disciplined off the field, you're not going to be disciplined on the field.
