Hindsight is wonderful.
It provides satisfaction, comfort and expertise. It is much easier to dissect a decision than to make it. Talking and writing about sport in hindsight is more straightforward than playing sport in real time.
England are at the point of confronting hindsight. At 2-0 down in this Ashes series, anything other than a win over Australia in Adelaide will lead to a lot of recrimination on the journey to Melbourne, Sydney and beyond.
Hindsight is not casting a favourable light on England's Ashes warm-up plans or preparations for the pink-ball game in Brisbane.
