Are Australia the new Dad's Army?

England have lost the “Dad’s Army” tag since winning the Ashes and Malcolm Conn worries Australia have picked it up. “It is Australia in the midst of a debate not only about the age of the national side but also when, or even whether, the next generation of talented players will emerge.”

The Australian also remembers the great West Indies sides as Andrew Ramsey writes the current squad feels “insulted by suggestions that Australian cricket gains no benefit from playing such an inferior opponent”.
