SL Tour: A good opportunity to have a better Test Series (at the expense of ODIs)?

[Ahmed_B]

This SriLanka tour ahead of the BD team is something out of the regular for the Team. And that is because of the ODI series being played ahead of the Test Series.

The BD team has already earned a reputation of wasting some time to 'take off' at the beginning of any Tour/Series. They struggle to find form and spirit early in any Series and so they usually show their worst at the beginning of any Series and show their best at the end.

For this reason.... we just might get a better Test Series from the team this time, even though that might be at the expense of the ODI success we are getting used to these days. Even so, I would really like to see the team do well in this Test series.... because we desperately need to put up some good performance in Tests. It has already been long since we got our best Test Achievement, the Draw against WI (personally, I value that even more than the Series Win over the weak ZMs).

Best of luck to the Team!
