But the one thing that Graeme had was that he had the ability…
The reactions to Australia’s stunning collapse for 47 in the Newlands Test have been predictably scathing. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Malcolm Conn adds to the castigation of Michael Clarke’s team, calling it “the worst Australian side in a quarter of a century”. The embarrassing loss means Australia have won just two of their past 12 Tests. That dreadful sequence is the most miserable since Border’s battlers went 14 Tests in a row without a victory from November 1985 to January 1987. At least that struggling side had some valid…
