“I don’t think so. Completely different conditions, different players, different timing, different form. We’ve played against them for years. In one-day cricket, we’ve done well against them in recent times. I don’t think they’ll be going into this game pooing their pants. It’s up to us to change that,” said Mark Wood.
“I don’t think they were a distraction, but I can understand peoples’ frustration. Obviously when lads are rewarded with things, and then they don’t perform at the level that you think, that’s justified. We are trying our hardest to get this right,” he stated.
“We’re putting in extra work. There’s no cracks in the group. There’s no falling out. Everyone is generally trying to do it for each other. We believe in each other. It’s just not happening the way we want,” he added.
