England fast bowler Mark Wood says he looks back on his side’s Ashes tour of Australia with “shame,” reflecting on a campaign that did not go as planned. He describes his own performance during the series as something he regrets, and his comments focus on the wider collapse of England’s campaign.
Wood’s view ties the turning point to the start of the tour, saying England should have won the opening Test in Perth. According to the reports, he frames that result as the moment when the tour began to unravel, both on the field—where England’s performances failed to take hold—and off it. Other coverage from BBC Sport echoes Wood’s central claim that he has mixed feelings, using the same “shame” wording, but provides limited additional detail beyond his assessment of the campaign.
