#2 No test of skills
Albeit there are video analysts for tracing down the strengths and deficiencies in an opposition, hands-on experiences are priceless for teams, which can’t be acquired from videos and machines. After one Test, players are more or less accustomed to their rival’s characteristics.
From the second Test onwards, the actual examination of skills starts when players try hard to out-skill their counterparts. In a one-off Test, time runs off in identifying each other and when it’s actually recognised, the series comes to an end.
A batsman likes to sit on the back foot and doesn’t enjoy taking out the front foot and this is exactly a bowler has to identify to work out the batsman in a Test series, but unfortunately a single Test is not enough to utilise the gained skills.
