England coach McCullum says intense prep didn’t suit Brisbane’s pitch, citing fatigue and poor adaptability after Ashes loss.
England head coach Brendon McCullum clarified his "over-prepared" remark after the Gabba Test loss, saying five intense training sessions may have drained players’ energy, leaving them less adaptable for the challenging Brisbane pitch.
He noted the preparation, focused on a true surface, didn’t suit the match conditions requiring quick thinking.
McCullum defended the team’s planned Noosa trip, scheduled a year in advance, as a mental reset after consecutive Ashes defeats.
He acknowledged media scrutiny, including an airport incident, but praised the players for managing pressure well.
