I am very glad that all things being equal and as it stands, I will not have to endure the first test at the Gabba this year as it is going to be a whitewash of monolithic proportions. I have been to the last 4 and been humiliated enough at times with the odd courageous performance ( such as Cooks record stand, but also seen Peter Siddell's hat trick!).

The latest performance is indefensible. It looks like the national cricket team is managed by Neal Ardley relying on Callum for inspiration ( read Root).
