True

Another thing embedding home advantage, an issue across the board.

We need to encourage more youngsters to play internationally over the winter.

In normal times, natch.

And play more long form in the summer here.

Nevertheless, I don't think that's behind the problems we currently have.

Malan was playing well - it is possible to move between formats. Just not in the scattergun ways that we do.

Fielding is ultra important in the shorter forms. Why are we s**te at it in test format?
