Voice of fair play

AUS managed a touring match to get a bit of red ball practice before the series/ after the world cup and they even managed a game v Derbyshire in between the 3rd and 4th test...so why couldn't England?
As the op said it was tiredness and too much cricket that effected the players, last thing they needed was more games.
the best performers in the series the likes of Stokes, Smith, Cummins and Hazelwood hardly played any practices games, where the Aussies who played the practice games were probably their worst performers!
So really don’t get the point!
