"When you look back at 2015 and the reset that occurred in white-ball cricket, it's possible that a similar reset is required in our red-ball game."

After losing the Ashes by an innings in Melbourne, Joe Root said that the team is "gutted" and "bitterly upset." Root also said that the team is "gutted" and "bitterly sad." England headed into day three at 31 for 4 and were mowed down for only 68 as Scott Boland put in a match-winning effort by bagging 6 for 7 in the second innings.

England Team disappointed

"Everyone in that dressing room is in a state of shock," Root said. "To find oneself in this situation is a source of great disappointment for us. You go there today, you walk out with Ben Stokes, and you get the impression that everything is possible. Despite the fact that the team is down by three goals, there are still two Test matches still to play. We have to make every effort to ensure that we walk away from this trip with a pair of victories."

England's hitters have let the team down even when the team's bowlers have offered a glimmer of hope, despite the fact that there have been doubts made about selection decisions and the choice to bat first in the first Test in Brisbane. Despite the fact that Root is the top run-scorer after three matches, only Dawid Malan has been able to provide any assistance. When Root was asked about his players, he responded by saying that the youthful batting squad is still learning on the job.

'I'd say that the top 18 players from the county game are absolutely going to be on this tour,' he said. "There are some really great players in our group, and we must discover methods to upskill ourselves and each other, as well as better ways to deal with pressure situations in the game."

Our batting group is very inexperienced: Root said

"Unfortunately, given the state of the game in our nation at the moment, the only place you can really learn is in the most difficult atmosphere possible. They're having to learn a lot out here for a batting group that is very inexperienced. The milieu from which they are coming does not provide them with sufficient preparation for Test cricket. This venue is very challenging because of all that surrounds Test matches, as well as the various weather and environmental circumstances. If you don't prepare properly before entering, it will be quite tough to make progress in that setting."

England has now lost 12 of its past 13 Tests in Australia, which is a record. In Root's opinion, the present stalemate might pave the way for a rebound along the lines of what England have been able to do in limited-overs cricket after their disappointing performance in the 2015 World Cup.

Similar reset is required for the England team

As Root pointed out, "If you look back at 2015 and the reset that occurred in white-ball cricket, maybe a similar reset is required in our red-ball game as well." I should probably have this chat with you all at a later time, since it was rather lengthy."

The ability to be psychologically resilient is essential, more than anything else. Simply said, we must continue to put in tremendous effort in our games and to search for methods to improve. And we must make certain that when we have possibilities to move ahead of the competition, we take advantage of them. I'm now in the midst of a critically acclaimed series. My focus must be solely on attempting to win the next game with all of my energy. I can't allow myself to become self-centered and start thinking about myself. That is an important aspect of being a captain. You must prepare your players and work hard to instill the same level of confidence in every member of your team and your squad. Going into the last two games, this is more important than ever.

"We have to put our best foot forward, remain focused, and strive to develop in all parts of our game, both individually and collectively, and we have to have a very strong inner conviction in our ability to bounce back."
