    There's a 2 day day-night match against the Prime Minister's XI this
    weekend
    Rather than get pink ball experience under lights the English players
    from the test team are all skipping it

    As the last three Tests are very close together their Tour Party Golf
    Comp is heavily weighted towards the early part of the tour.

    Yes, a very strange - but given their form - not entirely unexpected
    decision. It's been panned by the British media.
