Somehow I don't think the Aussies are losing much sleep over the threat of facing Wood and Atkinson while the England bigwigs pat themselves on the back over getting Jimmy to retire. Sending Woakes falls to the definition of insanity as doing the same thing over and again and expecting a different result. The abiding sin of the current England setup ('the clique') is camplacency shifting into arrogance.
