The England management said they would learn from the Ashes debacle but do we think they have? There's a new opener (good) but then signs of the same mistakes coming through. A number 3 (Bethell) who arrives with no red ball preparation; a wicket-keeper who isn't a wicket-keeper; a spinner who remains inexperienced and can't get a contract with a Division 1 County; and a seam attack that is a little same-y and has two players (Robinson, Stokes) whose fitness is wobbly.
The first Test looks like it will be rain affected so we may not learn a lot. If Bethell's talent can overcome the lack of practice and they can stop Harry Brook throwing his wicket away, we may get away with it. Still, it looks rather like more of the same and hope for the best.
