With COVID and everything I figured it was time to do another one of these nerd-intensive-but-not-entirely-irrelevant nostalgia pieces about Test XIs of the past I wish Australian had chosen.

This result did not seem likely the previous summer, when Kerry Packer and company struggled and the official Australian XI defeated India 3-2 in a thrilling series. We lost in the West Indies, it is true, but the team did okay – if not for a riot, the end result would have been 3-2 rather than 3-1, which isn’t bad.
