But in our world, it's been a really heartbreaking two, three months, really, because it doesn't go to plan.

Then the scrutiny comes and a lot of it fair, some of it unfair.

And you've got to try and work out what to do.

But I also think that when you go through that as a player, as a coach, as a leader in anything.

you've sort of gone through a really tough learning phase.

And if you can learn from that, in a way, you could be some of the better people to learn from that and go again.

I also believe that that cycle wasn't the end of... That's not a team at the end.

That's not a team full of players 30, 35, 36, who are all going to fall off a cliff at some point and not be playing for England.

Actually, this team is still very young.

In a lot of cases, the bowling attack is still inexperienced.

It took Jimmy Anderson five years to get to where he got to or start becoming a great bowler.

So I feel like there's still work to be done.

I feel like we should have learned so much from what we've gone through.

We should be in a better position for what we've gone through.

No, we've had lots and there's parts of it for Richard Gould, parts of it myself, where we've actually taken a lot of exterior advice or listen to different people that we trust and think, you know, what's your view of what's happened?

So you get a different perspective.

or you get different ideas and different reasons from not just people within that inner circle.

There's a difference, as I think I said to you in Melbourne, really.

There's a difference between when we got to Australia, we didn't know that the things we were doing weren't going to work.

They'd worked all the time.
