Robert Craddock, writing in the Sunday Telegraph, wonders how people will maintain interest in Australia’s series against West Indies following the one-sided opening game at the Gabba.
Five years ago, when Australia decided it was time to reduce Test series against West Indies from five matches to three, some stalwarts were offended. To them, playing only three Tests against the Windies was like inviting Jamie Oliver over to cook dinner and asking him to prepare the entree only. It seemed demeaning. A waste. Almost a tease. Not any more.
