Yes it has been a long summer. In fact it has been more than a marathon for the Australian cricket team. It has been more like an ultra-marathon and I am sure Cliff Young and Pat Farmer, two of Australia's greatest ultra-marathon runners, would be extremely proud of the team's efforts. Not only did the Commonwealth Bank (CB) tri-series draw to an end our Australian summer, but it also closed out a hectic schedule that started with the World Cup back in February.
