Test Match Special
The Ashes: Inquest begins for England as Australia make it 4-1

This is not going to win the Ashes.

The Ashes: Inquest begins for England as Australia make it 4-1

You need a stronger person there, someone who I think is going to stand up to, particularly to Brendan McCullum, who is a strong character and very much his own person,

Test Match Special
The Ashes: Inquest begins for England as Australia make it 4-1

If he wants to carry on and, as we talk about, change the approach, it's up to that person, that Rob Key position, to make sure that he does and to make sure that things are done differently.

Just finally, players.

Test Match Special
The Ashes: Inquest begins for England as Australia make it 4-1

So you talked about Jamie Smith.

Test Match Special
The Ashes: Inquest begins for England as Australia make it 4-1

That's the big question.

Test Match Special
The Ashes: Inquest begins for England as Australia make it 4-1

His position is going to come into the spotlight as the year goes on and as England move towards their next test match.

Test Match Special

What about some of the other players?

Test Match Special
The Ashes: Inquest begins for England as Australia make it 4-1

I'm thinking of Zach Crawley.

The Ashes: Inquest begins for England as Australia make it 4-1

So Zach Crawley came out here.
