- FROM RORY DOLLARD IN PERTH

The local newspapers will make uncomfortable reading and the early talk of enjoying the wider experience of touring Australia may be easier said than done, with thousands of crestfallen England fans around the city and even more chipper home fans.

The favoured pastime of golf has been a bugbear for some critics but the management will be aware that keeping spirits up is one of their most important tasks.

Should the Test team stop off in Canberra?

England decided early in their planning not to take up Cricket Australia on their offer of a two-day day/night warm-up against the Prime Minister's XI. Instead, Andrew Flintoff’s Lions will be heading to the Manuka Oval. Ashes-winning captain Michael Vaughan is one of several pundits who have publicly called for a rethink, insisting the early finish means the senior side must now make use of the extra practice.
