But longer term there is a real problem, as our shield teams are full of blokes who make their reputation in 20/20.
Those of us old enough will know how big of a rabble Australia was until Simpson returned as captain and what a huge difference he made to the team's performance!
Simpson returned as captain when the World Series Cricket spilt started.
