'That incident revved up the group': Gill-Crawley spat sparked team meeting and shift in England's attitude, reveals Carse
Shubman Gill's aggressive reaction to Zak Crawley's time-wasting tactics led to an England team meeting, where the home side decided to adopt a more combative on-field approach, Brydon Carse revealed as they won the Lord's Test from a losing position. read more As per Brydon Carse, the Gill-Crawley spat was the trigger that sparked England's comeback in Lord's Test. Images: Reuters England fast bowler Brydon Carse has revealed a secret team meeting was called after Day 4 of the Lord's Test against India in which the players and management decided to adopt a change in their on-field behaviour. Carse says the meeting was called after India, under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, started to get aggressive with their mental games and on-field behaviour. The first major on-field incident of the ongoing five-match Test series between India and Ben Stokes-led England took place on Day 3 of the third match at Lord's when Gill got into an argument with English opener Zak Crawley over time wasting. On Day 4, Siraj gave an aggressive send-off to Duckett, for which he was later fined by the ICC, and India were also seen using time-wasting tactics towards the end. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD England meeting sparks better performance In an exclusive interview with Mail Sport, Carse has revealed that the whole English team had a meeting after the end of the fourth day's play, where it was decided that they needed to put on a more aggressive tone on the field and it was the Gill vs Crawley incident that had sparked the change. 'That incident at the end of day three probably revved up the whole group, and we had that discussion at the end of day four,' Carse told Mail Sport. 'And I think the common thing was that sometimes, as an English cricket team, we can come across a little bit too nice, whereas the opposition are very quick to get stuck into us. 'So it was just brilliant that the whole team bought into that. We want to be aggressive and give it a good crack. We want to play the game in the right spirit, but still be up for a bit of a fight and a challenge.

'When you're out on that field and you've got 10 other blokes all fighting your corner, I'm definitely one that won't shy away from something like that. It certainly gets your beans going and your emotions going, but it's also important in those situations to control it.'

England ready to ‘get stuck in' again after Lord's clashes
After exchanging good-natured wins at Headingley and Edgbaston, the Rothesay Test series grew testy at the home of cricket as India's fielders clashed with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett in a time-wasting row. That lit a fire under England when it was their turn to field, with Jofra Archer giving a pumped-up send-off to Rishabh Pant while Brydon Carse and Ravindra Jadeja were involved in a mid-pitch collision. Ravindra Jadeja's collision with Brydon Carse was one of several Lord's flashpoints (Bradley Collyer/PA) India crumbled to 170 all out in pursuit of 193 to fall 2-1 down ahead of this week's penultimate Test at Emirates Old Trafford, but Brook did not think England crossed any line in their pursuit of victory. Brook said: 'I've had a lot of compliments. Everybody (I've spoken to) said it was awesome to watch. It was good fun, I have to admit, it was tiring but it made fielding a lot more enjoyable. 'I think it put them under a little bit more pressure. The opportunity that arose for us to not be the nice guys was because of what they did. We just thought 'we're not standing for that'. 'We had a conversation and said 'it's time to not be those nice guys that we have been before'. You don't always have to be nice. Who knows, that might have played into our favour. It was good fun. 'We were doing it within the spirit of the game. We weren't going out there effing and jeffing at them and being nasty people. We were just going about it in the right manner.' Harry Brook was happy for England to turn up the heat (Danny Lawson/PA) England have been accused of being too carefree in the 'Bazball' era, and Brook revealed it was at his urging after some choice words from head coach Brendon McCullum that they should shed that approach. Asked whether that extra bit of spice will follow the teams up north as England look to guarantee a series win, Brook replied: 'God knows. We'll see whether it happens again and whether it works. 'We were just putting them under more pressure. Baz (McCullum) actually said a few days before that we are too nice sometimes, and I brought it up the night before the last day: 'Baz said the other day we're too nice, I think tomorrow is a perfect opportunity to really get stuck into them'.' Possibly to help them sharpen their way of thinking, England have enlisted mental skills coach Gilbert Enoka, famed for his work with New Zealand's rugby team and instilling a 'no d***heads' policy during a period where the All Blacks won the 2011 and 2015 World Cups. Enoka is a long-time friend of Kiwi compatriot McCullum and worked with England earlier this summer before reprising his role this week on a consultancy basis. He spoke to the group in a huddle before they trained on Monday. Mohammed Siraj was fined 15 per cent of his match fee and given one demerit point for his angry send-off of Duckett during England's second innings, which ended with the pair brushing shoulders. He anticipates more needle between the teams in Manchester, saying: 'Yes (we will see more of it). I'm thinking what we need, what a player needs is sledging.' Mohammed Siraj argues with England's Joe Root, right, at Lord's (Bradley Collyer/PA) Brook had a rare fallow week at Lord's with just 34 runs and for the second time in the past eight months, he was knocked off top spot in the Test batting rankings by fellow Yorkshireman Joe Root. 'My main reason I'm in the team is to score runs and I don't want that (ranking) to affect my batting,' Brook added. 'I'm going to go out there, still be the batter I am. 'Everybody wants to be number one (in the world), don't they? Joe is a phenomenal player. I'm not in the same league as him. 'In my opinion, he's the best Test batter of all time. So I'll let him have that one for now.'

Brydon Carse Reveals Lord's Emotions: 'Harry Brook Said Its His Best Test Win'
Last Updated: Brydon Carse described the emotional rollercoaster during England's 22-run win over India at Lord's, securing a 2-1 lead in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. England's Brydon Carse described the emotional rollercoaster he experienced during England's 22-run victory over India in the Lord's Test. This win secured a 2-1 lead for the home team in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. At Lord's, after scores were levelled in the first innings, England set India a target of 193. Despite a determined lower-order fightback led by Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten 61 – his fourth consecutive fifty in the format – India fell agonisingly short, bowled out for 170, granting England a thrilling victory. 'You wanted to fall to your knees, almost. It was unbelievable, after all the hard work that the group put in over those five days. It was the best game that I've been involved in with England. And, from speaking to the guys who've played a lot of franchise cricket and Tests, like Harry Brook, who I get on really well with, he was saying that's his best Test win. So to hear that among the group, and to share those thoughts after the game, was a special feeling. 'Once we got off that field and walked through the Long Room, it was an incredible atmosphere … really loud. A couple of the guys who had played in the Ashes said that's the loudest they've ever heard the Long Room. It was a pretty special week," said Carse at an event. On the final day, Jadeja was at his gritty best, scoring his fourth successive fifty in Tests. But his valiant effort was in vain as India lost by 22 runs at Lord's, leaving them 2-1 behind in the five-match series against England. Carse played a crucial role, claiming the wickets of Karun Nair and Shubman Gill late on Day 4, and also contributing with a half-century in the first innings. Carse believes the Lord's win demonstrates England's ability to adapt and move forward. 'To be able to pick up a couple of wickets in that spell and put the momentum back into our hands going into day five was incredibly satisfying. At times, over the course of the series so far, I feel like I've been bowling well and maybe haven't had as much luck as I would have liked, but that was certainly satisfying for me. 'It was not the typical style of cricket that we would like to play, and it took some adjustment, but it shows this side can move forward and adapt to certain situations," said Carse. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 19:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

We showed we arent one-minded in our approach: Carse on Lords victory
Manchester, Jul 21 (PTI) England's 22-run victory against India at Lord's was a shining example of the team's ability to break free from their one-dimensional aggressive brand of cricket and adapt as per the need of the hour, pacer Brydon Carse said ahead of fourth Test starting here on Wednesday. Carse also played his part with a couple of wickets in England's successful defence of 193-run victory target, which included a sharp in-dipper to get rid of Karun Nair. 'It was not the typical style of cricket that we would like to play, and it took some adjustment, but it shows this side can move forward and adapt to certain situations," Carse was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo. 'We spoke a lot at the start of the series about how to get to that next level, about being a dominant Test team and the best Test team in the world. And as this game panned out, we showed that it's not always going to be one-minded or a certain style of cricket. So, it was very satisfying as a group," said the soon-to-be 30 speedster, who has so far taken nine wickets in the series. He was happy to have contributed in his team's cause. 'At times, over the course of the series so far, I feel like I've been bowling well and maybe haven't had as much luck as I would have liked, but that was certainly satisfying for me." Carse hailed the collective effort from the bowling unit on a slow deck where one needed to show a lot of perseverance. 'It was a complete collective effort from all the bowlers," he said, with England pounding through nearly 200 overs on a slow Lord's surface that offered little once the hardness of the new ball had worn off. 'At times in that first innings, it was an incredibly long slog. But we kept coming and we kept on trying different plans. And, even in that second innings, all five bowlers contributed at certain times, so it felt really satisfying as a group of bowlers." Carse called the Lord's Test easily the best game of his life. 'It was the best game that I've been involved in with England. And, from speaking to the guys who've played a lot of franchise cricket and Tests, like Harry Brook, who I get on really well with, he was saying that's his best Test win. So to hear that among the group, and to share those thoughts after the game, was a special feeling." 'Once we got off that field and walked through the Long Room, it was an incredible atmosphere… really loud. A couple of the guys who had played in the Ashes said that's the loudest they've ever heard the Long Room. It was a pretty special week."

EXCLUSIVE BRYDON CARSE: Inside England's late-night summit and why they ditched 'Mr Nice Guys' act, what really happened with India and Zak Crawley's timewasting... and why the pace attack will go even harder now
There's no hysteria or venom in the voice of Brydon Carse as he reflects on England's striking change of attitude midway through their series against India – just a quiet enjoyment of the fact that, from now on, they will not be cricket's Mr Nice Guys. Other teams may wonder whether England have ever been 'too nice', as Carse puts it, but that misses the point.
