DON'T COME HERE WITH A GLASS JAW, WARNS MCCULLUM
BRENDON McCullum has told his England side they cannot show Australia a “glass jaw” as they attempt to drag their Ashes campaign back from the brink.
The window of opportunity in one of the most hotly anticipated series in years is fast disappearing, with defeats in Perth and Brisbane handing the hosts a 2-0 lead with three Tests to play.
England have been here before, drawing the 2023 home series from a similar predicament and only missing out on outright victory because of a two-day downpour at Old Traf-ford.
Head coach McCullum is desperate for the tourists to come out fighting when battle resumes in Adelaide next Wednesday and insists showing any fragility could lead to a knockout blow.
“You don’t get to feel sorry for yourself if things don’t work out. You have to get up and go again,” he said.
