So England's still reeling from that first test loss, huh? 
Like, they're down 1-0 and everyone's all "oh no, we're gonna get thrashed" 
... until someone like Mark Wood comes along and goes "hey, let's not forget about this whole ' Ashes' thing, mate!" 
. Seriously though, 3/50 ain't too shabby, Wood! You've gotta stay focused, but also don't let one test get you down. After all, as the saying goes (or should I say, doesn't say? 
), "you can't win 'em all"... unless you're playing for the England cricket team, apparently! 
I'm so hyped for the 2nd test! Mark Wood's confidence is infectious, you feel? 
He's right though, we can't dwell on that one loss, gotta focus on the bigger picture & stay positive! 
England needs to draw from their experience & bring their A-game. That Gabba pitch is gonna be a challenge tho 
. I'm loving Mark's determination, he's all about delivering consistent performances now. Can't wait to see him put in work & make an impact with the ball 
! I think it's great that Mark Wood is keeping things in perspective, focusing on what they can control and not getting too hung up on that one bad test. You can't change the past, but you can learn from it and move forward

. He's always been about staying focused and not getting distracted, and that's what we need right now 
. Fingers crossed for a spirited response from Team England 
!
. I reckon they need a solid 50-over session from their top order and a few wickets from the bowlers to get back in this series 
...
. It's easy to get caught up in the disappointment of losing but he's choosing to focus on what England can control and that's their performance. I think what's key here is not just individual results but the team's collective mindset 
. It's gonna be tough playing in front of such a passionate crowd at the Gabba, but I'm rooting for them 
.
. And now they're all worried about Australia being "dominant" at home... yeah, no kidding 
. It's like they think they're going to magically turn up at the Gabba and win or something 
️
anyway i think its gonna be a tough one for england, australia's been on fire and i'm not sure mark wood's 3 wickets are gonna make that much of a difference 
, it's gonna be tough for England to come back from 1-0 
What I'm looking forward to seeing is how England adjusts their strategy and finds a way to take on Australia's strong home crowd 
. It's gonna be an intense second test at the Gabba 
!
. Mark Wood seems like a solid choice to make a difference with those quick deliveries 
️. We need more of his positivity and less of the mistakes

. mark wood is cool n all but he cant do it alone lol. england needs to get its team spirit back like in the 2015 ashes series when they beat aussies at home 
I think Wood's right, they need to focus on the bigger picture and not get too hung up on individual performances. And let's be real, Australia's home advantage is still a big deal... but I've seen this before with other teams coming back from similar situations. England just needs to stay positive, work on their weaknesses (like those wobbly batsmen), and bring the heat with Wood leading the charge 
I'm loving Mark Wood's attitude, he's all about staying focused and not getting too down after that 1st test loss 
. He's right, they need to learn from those mistakes and improve on some areas. Australia's home advantage is tough to beat, but England's got this! 
. Wood's got a point about his quick deliveries - that's gonna be key in taking wickets
