Don't forget people were expecting England to win this inside 3 days, we lost the whole of day 1 through weather.
I also think it's more respectful to acknowledge that the opposition held us to a draw in the last series only a few months ago and that they could have done it again if we gave them any chance at all.
Not sure England have actually been treating it as a test run, I think that's a rumour perpetuated by some of the press. There's a whole 6 weeks before Aus, plenty more cricket to test the likes of the hapless Compton.
