I think that is a massive credit to this setup that Brendan McCullum has created.
They're the good part.
So, you know, it's trying to find that bit in the middle.
No, I think it depends on what you mean by change.
If you want Brendan McCullum to become a completely different coach or do everything in a completely different way, of course, we don't want him to do that.
You may as well employ a different coach.
What you want is someone like, oh, and Brendan McCullum, as you know, is a very good player.
And good players don't get to that position by not evolving, not adapting.
And that's what we want him to do.
And that's what, when you look at the way the team played out in Sri Lanka, I thought they did that.

You try and play like that out in Sri Lanka on those spinning pitches.
You cannot do that.

We thought that was the way.
And then we went for spin.
You went to the likes of Liam Dawson, all these people that had done well in county cricket to come and try and come up with a different style of playing, a different way to adapt to those conditions.
That's where you evolve it, really.
I don't want him to become a different coach.
I just want us to become a better side than what we've been, to evolve into a team that is.
