Having grown up in Australia in the 1980s, Monkey Magic was
a constant presence in my life, and often a guiding one.
The opening to the TV show; “In the Worlds before Monkey,
primal chaos reigned, heaven sought order; but the phoenix can fly only when
its feathers are grown” still ring in my ears, albeit in a strange chinglish
accent.
These words came back to me suddenly with the retirement of
Mike Hussey, as his departure means that the Australian cricket teams batting
line-up suddenly becomes as brittle as the backs of its bowlers.
Not wanting to add too much fuel to the fire, the selectors
will no doubt minimise changes to the batting line-up / seek order, meaning EdCowan is likely to keep his spot at the top of the order; despite not scoring
runs & keeping Shane Watson out of the team.
Here’s hoping Cowan grows some feathers (not of the Duck
variety though).
