Ashes: If Anything, England Trained Too Much, Says McCullum On Defeat In Brisbane
BBC Test Match Special: England head coach Brendon McCullum said his side had over‑trained ahead of their heavy eight-wicket defeat to Australia in their second Ashes Test at the Gabba. Despite a defiant 96-run seventh wicket stand from Ben Stokes and Will Jacks on day four, England were outplayed across departments and are now 2-0 behind.
[5:12 pm, 7/12/2025] Niharika Ians: "We had five to 10 training sessions leading into this game. Sometimes there is a tendency to overdo things to make up for it. If anything we trained too much. As we all know in this game it is played in the top two inches."
"We all have to find a way that ensures that we feel prepared physically, technically and we are ready for the battle, but also to make sure we are fresh and make sure we can make those decisions in the heat of the games," said McCullum to BBC Test Match Special at the conclusion of the game.
