Plenty of finger pointing and hindsight analysis from just about everyone in Australia atm re why we couldn’t get it done.
We dropped a couple of important chances and probably didn’t bowl our best in that second innings but the bottom line, imo, is that it’s just so desperately difficult to ‘earn the right’ with the bat and then take the 20 wickets to win a test match over there in conditions like that, within five days.
On wickets like that, a seven day Test would probably be appropriate!
It’s virtually a complete ‘180’ from the type of test cricket we saw in the Ashes in our summer and our previous Ashes series in England, where things happen very quickly from ball one
