I think it's too early to say.
What you look for from any sportsperson after a poor performance and a heavy defeat is some sort of positive reaction - "form is temporary, class is permanent" and all that.
The Aussies are more restricted regarding any changes they might make, England have almost unlimited choice.
The notorious British weather will undoubtedly play some part. Edgbaston and Trent Bridge (the next two venues) tend to produce results over the five days if the teams look for one. The Oval is a classic batting strip with a huge outfield, so patience and shot selection is vital here.
Ideally, England would be leading the series by the time we get to The Oval. If not, then it's probably the Aussies to keep the urn. We just need to be more positive and risk taking, that's what they do. |
