Just on the fielding, how long is it since the Aussies have hit the stumps in a run out? Feels like forever. Think we were very lucky in that 90-00's period where it seemed hitting the stumps was the norm.
In the cricket world in general now, however, now there seems a distinct lack of nous in the fielding, every throw is a shy at the stumps, and very rarely do they throw to the man over the stumps, that's if someone (in particular the bowler) has made the effort to get back there. Realistically most teams have only one or two blokes at any time you'd back in, but teams think everyone should.
