"The boys are hurting after our performances in the last two games. They realise we haven't been good enough across all facets of the game," he told journalists. The odds are against them -- the only instance of a team coming from 2-0 down to win the Ashes was Donald Bradman's Australia way back in 1936-37.
He suggested that England's travails against a high-quality attack was also down to a lack of Test experience on Australian pitches, with he and Root among the few to have played an away Ashes series before.
