McCullum: England "Trained Too Much" for Ashes Loss; Stokes Doubts Mentality

• Brendon McCullum suggested England "trained too much" before their second Ashes Test loss at Gabba.
• England went 2-0 down in the Ashes series after an eight-wicket defeat in the second Test.
• The team had limited red-ball preparation, playing only one warm-up match and sending fringe players to a pink-ball game.
• McCullum believes over-training might have affected freshness and decision-making during the game.
• Captain Ben Stokes questioned the team's mentality and composure in "neck and neck" pressure moments, not their skill.
