The Ashes

[Josh1873]

Ted is correct, playing at home is a massive advantage.

Test cricket history is full of players who were very good playing in their home conditions but fell to pieces playing abroad.

Oh, I'm not disputing that. But there's a difference between struggling in away conditions, and being brain-dead arrogant and not adapting to those conditions. 

Continuing to play cover drives when it's clear that is not the shot to play. Trying to pull, hook and slog every delivery, attempting ramp shots. That has nothing to do with the conditions, that's just shit batting.
