without looking at the stats, I'd guess the saffies and the australians are the most aggressive/results oriented teams and that was my point...

the other point was about some n. hemi teams who at times have seemed more content to play for the draw from early in a match.

I cannot recall an Oz team playing for a draw from the outset or early in a match...cannot envisage a saffie team dooing that either (esp under their current leadership)

Playing for a draw is never the way to go - normally ends in a loss. And England have indeed been guilty of this in the past...

We might need to get used to playing for some draws in the years ahead. Not from the outset, but .

Sometimes the sun shines, sometimes it rains. Much like anywhere else I guess.

Barring London, Melbourne and Chennai [between June - Jan], it's not the case anywhere else where cricket is played....
