Sydney, Jan. 8 -- Following his side's 4-1 Ashes series loss to Australia, England head coach Brendon McCullum has said that he is not rigid in his beliefs but has conviction in his methods, pointing to the criticism of the 'Bazball' school of cricket championed by him and skipper Ben Stokes.

The ultra-attacking, positive, and results-oriented Bazball, shaped and performed over the last few years with the Australia Ashes tour in mind, was again exposed as England were massively outplayed by the Aussies during the Ashes series. Aussies registered a five-wicket win in the last Test of the series at Sydney.

England's hopes of a 2-3 scoreline were dashed with Australia having bagged the Ashes with victory in the Adelaide Test.
