Well, I think, one, how much the game of cricket can come back to bite you as much as anything else.

I think that...

We went in, we thought we'd planned well, we thought we had a side that was ready to go out there and beat this Australian team.

And we came unstuck in a number of different ways as much as anything else.

And I think that what happens in sport, and this was part of the decision making as far as I was concerned with Brendan, was that you end up, you get to a certain point and then

you have a smash and it doesn't go to plan.

But going through what has probably been the hardest three months of my career, certainly in this job or any other, certainly as a player, as Michael and Alistair will know, that once you get out to Australia, that's as tough as it gets.

And you spend every moment of the day trying to work out how you're going to win series, how you're going to win games.

And when it doesn't work, it's heartbreaking really.

So you then have to have a few honest looks at the things that you've done.

And the way we went about things, we didn't give ourselves a best chance.

And there's lots of different reasons for that.

But there's a difference between not caring about whether you're preparing well and thinking that you're doing the right thing.

We thought we were doing the right thing.

We thought we got things right and it wasn't the case.

But what you do hope, sorry, is that what you do hope is that when you go through that hardship, actually, you do learn and you should be in a better position to become better at the role that you're in, the coach that you are if you're Brendan McCullum and the captain you are in Ben Stokes.

No, but what we did is that we had almost like a – when we did the written media today, we had a few slides up with a few of the headings that we go now.

There's loads and loads of pages when it comes to the review.

of some of that detail into it.

So if I go into, say, you take the long-term planning, they had like three buckets of these things, which I do get sounds a lot like management speak.
