We then...

probably were aligned on the decision that it was all about whether or not... You've got to think about whether or not you feel that Brendan and the captain are the best people to take it forward.

Are they the people that the players still believe?

They're still going to listen to?

The thing that...

Kiel's head coach is more than anything else or faster than anything else is when they lose the dressing room so you're starting to look for those keys is that something that's happening is Brendan still able to try and get the best out of these players so then you look at the World Cup and the Sri Lanka series and you think and the end of that Ashes series where actually the performance improved now you can say well if you'd have played more games that might have happened but

Those are the key indicators throughout that period.

And I felt the way they went in the World Cup, it was clearly a big World Cup.

Had we not done well there and it looked like,

Whether it was the early stages of the World Cup, if we went out, then there's a chance that we may have ended up losing the jobs, both myself and Brendan.

But the key moment really is to work out whether or not Brendan and myself are able to get the best out of the players around them.

Is that partnership between Harry and Brendan, is that working well?

And all of those things did.

So that's the reason why I believe that Brendan's the best person to take it forward.

Yeah, I think that we've had a lot of conversations about what we need to do, how we need to.

So, for instance.

think we both believe that actually we've we've put a huge amount of value on loyalty and having a settled team on giving players a good run now the problem with that is we probably swing it too far so it then has there's a lack of consequence for poor performance there's a lack of consequence when people don't go on and score the runs they should or take the wickets they should and that then

becomes part of that culture.

So we've spoken about actually we need to be more ruthless in what we're doing.

We need to be more ruthless in some of the selections that we've done.
