And his phrase was, if you can't change a man, you change the man.

And that's what he's done, actually, with some of his players.

Think of the players that he's discarded as England coach.

Ollie Robinson is quite a good example of that.

And at the end of the Sydney test, we knew that both Rob Key, as the director of cricket, and Brendan McCullum as the head coach, were going to be given the opportunity to stay in post if they could,

enact the changes around the England men's team that the England hierarchy, Richard Gould and Richard Thompson, wanted to see.

And it looks like that Rob Key is going to be given that opportunity and therefore it is his responsibility

to work through those changes and potentially imposing them on Brendan McCullum.

And we've already started to see them.

And as Agus touched on, a curfew is not very Brendan McCullum.

And Carl Hopkinson, the fielding coach, well, he was moved away from the England set up when McCullum assumed control of the white ball team at the end of 2024.

And I think a good point to make at this stage is if you cast your mind right back to when Brendan McCullum took over the test team and he found that the players weren't allowed a bacon sandwich in the morning because the nutritionist said that is not what high performance test cricketers should be eating before a day of play.

So, Brendan McCullen bought the bacon sandwiches back at the start of his reign, and now he's been told that his team have got to be in before midnight.

Those two things don't seem to mesh together very well.

We've got, what, six weeks, I think, between now and the end of the T20 World Cup, and we'll wait to see how England go in that.

And there may still be more changes to come.

Remember, England don't have a full-time fast bowling coach.

A couple of the assistant coaches have come under fire, Jeetan Patel and Marcus Truscothic.

Those are trusted McCullum lieutenants.

Might their positions come under scrutiny?
