Greetings - thanks for having Sport Review back. I hope you had a relaxing and stress free break, depending on how many Super Overs you caught. Here’s a sandy jandal saunter through the summer so far. Well. The cricket’s not gone to plan. The Tests in Aus were disappointing (crowd aside). The T20’s have been agonising. The chat online and on the radio’s not been much better. I was trying to think of when we last had a set of losses like this, then I remembered this used to happen all the time. This would have counted as a dream run in the 90’s. Consistency of selection and approach has given us so much over the last few years, I don’t think it’s the time to throw the Powerade out with the chilly bin water now. I can understand the calls for doing things differently in T20’s, and if you’re going to do something radical, maybe keep it for a format that’s the most inconsequential. As we saw in Hamilton, it doesn’t take much to turn things around - Test matches at home are our sweet spot right now and we’ve got three coming up.
