I thought with the slew of retirements from the Baggy Greens they would be at least somewhat ordinary in the first Test of a new Australian era of cricket.
Putting up 500 runs against a decent Sri Lankan squad can only make the rest of the Test playing world feel even more hopeless against the Australian juggernaut.
If there is one team I truly hope picks up its play, its the West Indies. As Tony Greig has said many times, cricket benefits when the West Indies play well.
