There is a saying "Practice makes perfect" which practically applies to all things. It would be to say that the timing of the tour was wrong. For all that matters, Aussies did get new players to play and see their performance which they could not have seen otherwise. But the basic underlying factor, is the pitches they played on. Technical brillance was sadly missing. All one say was slogging on true pitches which is comparatively easier than on pitches where the ball does not come onto the bat or low bounce/mixed surface, where technical perfection is necessary to perform on these pitches. Let us see the Aussies or for that matter the kiwis do the slogging on West Indian pitches. If continue slogging in the same vein and post scored of more than 300 consistently, my hats off to them!!! I can safely say that we are overestimating the Aussie grit!!!
