express bowling Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The commentators were surprised that we are playing just 1 practice game before the test matches ... although we have 14 days inbetween. Why are we messing up our test preparations again like SA despite having so much time !! UrmiSinhaRay and Switchblade 2 Link to comment

Our team management mixing up formats as usual Playing with the red ball on green or greenish surfaces is a completely different beast to playing with the white ball on flat tracks. They should know it more than us. Why not 2 practice matches in these 14 days ! Preparing properly for away test tours seems to be the least of our priorities from 2011 onwards.

Not picking Siraj in the test squad is a big mistake ... since he is in such pristine form with the red ball in these conditions. raki05, tweaker, Jimmy Cliff and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment
