How good is it to see us play ruthless, aggressive cricket again. The soundbite from Clarke to Anderson; Johnson taking the new ball around the wicket for some body bashing to boos from the Barmy Army. Nasser Hussain's demeanour in the post match wrap on Sky was that of a post traumatic stress sufferer having a relapse. Was pretty telling stuff.
It has been our brand pretty much since AB put his foot down in '89. If this is the mark Lehmann leaves on us - just that brand and approach to the game - I'm stoked with the appointment beyond words. We haven't only looked ruthless, you can see the boys are enjoying the game with a much more practical, decisive approach to plans and execution. That was evident in England too.
We have not looked like it since being told to tone things down after the India debacle. Even remember Russell Crowe alluding to it in 2009 when he came in for a brief stint on the mic in the Ashes. Play the game hard. Been a while lads. Heartening to see it back.
