England Maintains Approach Amid Ashes Struggles
There was a big argument at Brisbane Airport between England's cricket team security and an Australian TV cameraman.
The security guard told the cameraman to get out of his face, and it all happened while the England team was leaving for their next match in Adelaide.
The TV channel said their cameraman was just doing his job, and they are going to talk to the right people about what happened.
Meanwhile, England's coach, Brendon McCullum, said there will be no major changes to their approach in the third Ashes Test.
He believes they need to focus on executing their plans better, especially in conditions that suit their style.
McCullum also mentioned that the team has handled the intense scrutiny well and that his job security is the last thing on his mind.
