Quote from: Villan For Life on August 06, 2020, 06:54:06 PMWhy are we generally so poor in the first test of a series? I thought we might have some momentum going into this on the back of the Windies series but yet again we have reverted to type.It’s disappointing. I think in this Test it’s a combination so far. We had a couple of poor sessions with the ball and let Pakistan get 60-70 more than they should have. Pakistan then bowled very well, but having come through it Root threw it away. We have these sloppy periods/decisions that undermine progress.

Our batting is far too light and so it’s being proven. It’s a very long tail.
