Thanks to all those commenting on this blog, both those agreeing and disagreeing. I haven't responded directly because I'm a/ very busy and b/ a Luddite, but I've enjoyed your thoughts, and also the occasional greeting from long lost Yarras comrades! The only specific response I would make is to those who think I was somehow dissing Michael Hussey for being called Mr Cricket. It was a joke, dears. Time to move on. Furthermore, while I don't mind civilised disagreement, I will also be deleting comments that contain gratuitous personal insults, especially from those who regard England's Second Test defeat as a triumphant vindication of the Australian way of life, John Howard, beer served cold etc. There are plenty of outlets for you already.
