And yes, despite any complaints I may have expressed about the work and the relocation and the living in 3 countries, the last 2 weeks have had many moments where I was extremely happy to be in Barbados at this particular time.

Now we're back to wondering just how long Australia plans to have the final match play out. And, for anyone who's reading. I AM HEADED TO THE FINALS!

Well I'll admit I did get bitten by the cricket bug during the Ashes success in 2005. Lara was a true sporting legend and someone will be remembered and celebrated for centuries to come.

Actually I agree with you. Maybe I didn't express it properly ;-). But it is true that while we had any vestige of the old guard, the star power in the team, we hung on to that idea that "We used to be world-champions" to the exclusion of planning forward - perhaps as if we reminded ourselves of what we used to be, we could do it again just like that. Without the work. Just because of the past. So I completely agree that we shouldn't use the yardstick of the past (especially when the demands and strategies of the game have changed). But at the same time I understand the sentimentality of that hope that hung on the past. It's very much a part of our developmental identity - we beat the more developed countries at something.
