Former Australia batter on BBC Test Match Special
Why is Australia's fielding so good? There's a couple of differences in this England and Australia side. In the Australia side everyone is putting their bodies on the line and we spoke about that yesterday.
With the indoor practice in the UK there is limited time in the year you can do that fielding practice. In Australia there are more surfaces conducive to diving and in England there is hard ground and you probably don't want to be diving on it. It's hard to dive on the indoor hybrid ground. You could training with padding but it isn't quite the same.
