'We trained too much' - McCullum
published at 10:18 GMT
10:18 GMT
England head coach Brendon McCullum, speaking to Test Match Special about doing anything differently: "Not from a preparation point of view.

"If anything we trained too much. We had five to 10 training session leading into this game.

"Something as a coach you have to be aware of. Sometimes there is a tendency to overdo things to make up for it.

"As we all know in this game it is played in the top two inches. We all have to find way that we ensure 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."

Yes but too little too late, delaying the inevitable, all so frustrating.

I think the World of cricket are baffled why England didn’t accept the offers of some tour games to prepare.

The great Woody Guthrie;

This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters
This land was made for you and me

As I went walking that ribbon of highway
And I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me

I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me a voice was a-sounding
This land was made for you and me

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me
Sign was painted, said, "Private Property"
But on the back side, it didn't say nothing
This land was made for you and me

When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice come chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me

This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters
This land was made for you and me

One of the best anti war songs ever written/performed and sung.

Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost your way
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder yeah
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, yeah
The floods is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

Willie the Pimp;

Frank Zappa.

I'm a little pimp with my hair gassed back
Pair a khaki pants with my shoe shined black
Got a little lady, walk that street
Tellin' all the boys that she can't be beat
Twenty-dollar bill, I can set you straight
Meet me on the corner, boy, and don't be late
Man in a suit with a bow-tie neck
Wanna buy a grunt with a third party check
Standin' on the porch of the Lido Hotel
Floozies in the lobby love the way I sell

Hot meat, hot rats, hot cats
Hot ritz, hot roots, hot zits (Hot wrists)
Hot suits, hot cysts
