Gosh, well they had the same situation on the UK tour and even I thought the extra time being in the country would help with the UK tour - and look how THAT turned out. Words...are we sure these cricketers are not politicians!!

ok then we should expect good performances in the two matches since you well prepared

In other words we need a month before each test.
