You're listening to the TMS Podcast from BBC Radio 5 Live.

It's a tradition, isn't it, now for cricket administrators to gather at Lourdes every four years to tell us where an England Ashes tour has gone wrong.

I think anyone who's expecting, I don't know, white smoke going over the pavilion or a big document to land on the table today was going to be disappointed because it wasn't that sort of...

review things that Rob Key and Richard Gould talked about were the performance system around the England team so that might be the backroom staff or performance staff team selection where mistakes might have been made during the ashes and whether or not players were given too much loyalty when they had carried on their performances and the connection between the England team and the domestic set up planning and preparation so we know

England's planning before that series.

They only played that one game at Lilac Hill before the first test in Perth.

And we know that talks have taken place with Cricket Australia to maybe get a better understanding between the two countries for Ash's series going forward.

And also culture and environment, because there's a lot of talk.

during the Ashes and afterwards about the England approach on and off the field.

So the things that England highlighted were having a positive and relaxed professional high-performance environment, new expectations around team behaviours and better individual and collective decision-making.

Yeah, well, good evening, everyone.

I just think the last couple of months, suddenly that Ashes series...

they just didn't quite play to their potential.

Not quite.

They didn't play to potential.

And that must be so frustrating if you're part of the leadership group of that side because that wasn't the best version of that team which we watched.

And I think that that will be of a concern that in the big series they haven't managed to do that.

They've all been given another shot to be able to do it.

Every time there's an Ashes series loss...

over the last 20, 30 years, has been big change.
