Yeah that's normal.
You tend to play single checkout when you first start playing because of how hard it is to checkout on doubles.
After a few months of decent play you can move to double checkout.

I think this is what makes cricket a bit special.
We obviously like winning. But by god, if we lose in the right manner I genuinely couldn't give a shit if we lose.
This was one of those losses. We could have taken the loss out of the equation by doing the normal thing and not enforcing the follow on, batting for a day, putting 500+ on the board to chase and trying to skittle NZ over 4-5 sessions. Which would likely have meant a draw.
We didn't do that. Because we want results.
NZ to their credit came back in and played it superbly too.
Absolutely love Cricket me.
