The problem with the schedule is now rearing it's ugly head. Duckett hasn't got a 3 or 4 day game to sort his technique out, Buttler has had one first class game in something like 125 years, and Ballance can't have a game to say "hello, there's a ton, remember me"??
5 back-to-back tests ridiculous, as they would be back here where touring teams need to acclimatise themselves. Whoever decided on this schedule should be dragged behind horses, lynched and then forced to watch Pick all day.
