For Australian cricket, the new normal is proving devilishly hard to pin down. When last we convened for a Test match, in Sydney in the first week of the year, it was all straightforward. The Test team was settled, and had momentum, and quickly completed a rout of New Zealand.

The emcee (me) had sorted the cards and decided ...
