Obviously you knew what had happened in New Zealand before a lot of England fans got on that plane to Australia who'd spent a lot of money and time travelling there thinking that that was England's best chance to win the Ashes in Australia for a very long time.

What do you say to those supporters who now, and do you understand that a lot of those supporters are quite angry at what transpired both with yourself in New Zealand and then performances in Australia?

What does changing away from the game, what does being more professional look like?

We're only two weeks on from being in Sydney, from the end of the Ashes series.

And there's a lot of players who are here, who are there as well.

How good is it, I don't know, to change format, change kit, change countries, to do something different?

You've got a team?

And a chance for Zach at the top of the order in one-day cricket?

You'll know that there's pressure on the management, the very top, and maybe Brendan in particular.

How much do you guys feel that over the next couple of months you owe something to him to produce some results both here in Sri Lanka and at the World Cup?

You need some wins as well for that one-day ranking to make sure that you qualify for the World Cup automatically.

And just finally from me, how are the guys that were in Australia?

You said yourself that you didn't want to be at home in the cold.

You'd rather be here and playing cricket.

But everyone's different.

Some people need rest, some people don't.

How are the people that have already been on tour quite a long time so far this winter?

And just finally, a fielding coach, specialist fielding coach joining you guys for the later part of this tour and for the World Cup.

How much, I don't know, is admission that maybe you didn't get that quite right previously during the Ashes and that that discipline is something that you really need to work on going forward?

The thing I'd like to know, I think, Kevin, is what would have happened had the Telegraph not ran that story of Harry Brooke and what happened in New Zealand?
