That would have to be the most tedious summer of cricket in memory. However, it can't all be put down to sub-standard opposition. There have been other summers with poorer quality sides on tour than this year.
One thing I have noticed, when the Aussie side on the mid/late 90s were slaying all comers they were legends. The current crop are matching their feats but the opposition are being panned.
Is it because the current blokes lack charisma? Or has the Australian public disconnected with professional prima-donnas who are cossetted from an early age? (Blokes like Steve Waugh and even Shane Warne were essentially amateurs when they made their debut and became millionaires later).Â
Just interested. Next summer should be better with the Ashes vibe, but what then? Another 4 year wait for the poms?
