All in all, pretty mediocre. We'd win some tests in the back of a gritty ton by Geoff, or an elegant 140 by Shaun, or a gutsy 70 by Rod. More than likely we'd win because Maco would do it all himself. But there's enough mediocrity in there to ensure we'd lose as much as win, and that's what this is all about.

8 of the 10 Test countries represented: would have been more if I'd thought of the theme earlier and hadn't forgotten it once or twice...
