Auss reaming is always a norm for us in SENA. Don’t worry, be happy!

Yes, we won all the tests after the first one in England.

Of course not but once you start off on such a bat note it's kinda all down hill

 

The point is this is where warm up matches come in handy. Not a shortened match against borderline novices, actual FC matches where the mindset is honed for an intense test series.

 

Those matches should be preceded by a camp focussing on skills like bowling the right length and judgment outside off stump. That's what Pak did right before their England tours. One innings of a 3 day match is not enough after a long run of short format matches.

And that's a big problem even if it's a norm. Even cash starved Pak does better prep than us and it's a shame.
