First session of the second Test and already I fear the worst.

The Aussies seem better prepared, more disciplined and determined to prove a point.

England just look like rabbits in the headlights at the minute.

They just have a better test team these days imo. Bar 1 or 2 we are a 1 day side really in reality.

is it a mindset thing...do we need one team for tests and a different team for one dayers


like a seperate offense and defense in the NFL

Just my opinion but I think as a top 4 test match batsman you will struggle to be an effective 1 day player and vice versa. You have the real top players like root, williamson and kohli who can do both well but in general one day players batting in the top 4 in test format is always gonna be difficult especially in England with the moving ball.

ODI types are fine in the middle order, as long as proper openers have provided a platform and took the shine off. What we have at the moment is ODI players being skittles as openers and then it's a domino effect.

this pretty much
 
But we did succeed in stinging Smith's finger tips. That's a start.
... Christ. Burns got away with one there.
