Ex-India captain Sunil Gavaskar, talking about England not playing single first-class warm-up game before Ashes, said, "England's win, even though it came in...fourth Test...prove once again that more you play, the better you will get." "Should England have played a few more First-Class games before the first Test? The 'ares' do not agree with the 'has-beens' here," he stated.
