Patrick Smith writes in the Australian that 50-over cricket is dying, as evidenced by the interest in the ongoing ODI series in England.
Once upon a time this would have been important. Australia leads the 50-over series against England 2-0. This is presumably of mild significance to the players' close family and a smattering of their friends but that would be about it.
Merv Hughes, the tour guide who helps pick Australian sides when not counting heads on the bus to the London Tower, might have poked his noggin in at Lord's on Sunday night to take a gander and jot down a few thoughts. Like who is Callum Ferguson? Why is Brett Lee still here? Who brung Adam Voges?
