Year after year, the wonderful folks at the ICC assemble the world's best players and get them to play bad cricket. If they staged W.G.'s XI v The Don's XI at the Elysian Oval with S.F. Barnes bowling to victor Trumper, they would find some way of making the occasion dismal. It's a gift real: a kind of anti-showmanship.
