Why do England always win a test match after they have lost a test series?

Question

In the last 2-3 y'rs i have seen so many times they win a test match after loosing a test series maybe because pressure is off them!!

Answer 1

they feel relax

Answer 2

only then they come to know opposition weakness

Answer 3

I dont mean to insult you, but this hasnt happened over the last 2-3 years.

The only time that we have lost a test series before the last test match played, was when we faced Australia in 2006/07 and we lost that match.

So my point is we dont always win a test match after we have lost a test series, because actually we dont lose many test series, and when we do lose we usually take it to the last test match.

The reason we lost this test match is for 2 reasons

* We had a main strike bowler (Harmison)

* South Africa played some rash strokes.

If we had a fit and firing Harmison, surely England would have won the test series, Harmison is the missing link for England at the moment, England's problem was that we couldnt bowl South Africa out twice in a test match. A fit Steve Harmison would have helped.

* South Africa lost the patience they had in the 2nd & 3rd test matches. They played a few rash strokes which they didnt play in the 2nd and 3rd test matches. South Africa relaxed far too much in the last test match and England captilised on that

Answer 4

I know I mean England are a really good team but they always win after losing. It is always a consolation win for a very good team.

Answer 5

because they are good at one match
