I guess they have had 16 years when they haven’t even been close in an Ashes series but we have found some sections of the crowd to be scathing and harsh. That has not been overly enjoyable. We have seen a pretty ugly side in some supporters.

It is difficult batting in artificial light with a red ball but it’s a horrible task for umpires to make a judgement, particularly if they’re going by light meters.
