    Why? They seem very dull compared to the Aussie teams of the past

      “ the famously laid-back McCullum admitted the flash point might impact relations between the teams as he said on the BBC’s Test Match Special: ‘I can’t imagine we’ll be having a beer any time soon.’ “

          Yeah, can’t disagree with that. I heard someone refer to day 4 as a bounceathon, 98% of deliveries were classed as short balls. Doesn’t make for entertaining watching
