Switching Between Formats Is Difficult Due To Not Playing Much Tests: Shelley Nitschke
For South Africa: Ahead of the historic one-off Test against South Africa, set to happen on February 15 at the WACA Ground in Perth, Australia head coach Shelley Nitschke admitted that switching between formats does become difficult due to not playing many matches in red-ball format.
Australia will go into the four-day one-off Test match with an 8-4 advantage in the multi-format series against South Africa. Moreover, they have the advantage of playing Tests in recent times – one each against England and India in 2023 at Nottingham and Mumbai respectively.
"I really like the multi-format series … I think they work really well. They present some challenges in preparation but that's part of it, both teams go through it. It's actually a really difficult one when we don't play a lot of Tests. When we went to England we spent a lot of time focusing on the red-ball format and done really well in the Test match over there but then didn't quite hit our straps in the white ball and we were out of season at that point.
