As nu metal songbirds Staind once crooned, it's been a while. After the last Test ended on January 19, Australia's men had a year almost entirely dedicated to Twenty20 cricket in the lead-up to the World Cup, which started awkwardly but culminated in glory. The Aussie men's team since the summer Beaten 3-2 in T20 series in New Zealand Beaten 4-1 in T20 series in Caribbean Won 2-1 in ODI series in Caribbean Beaten 4-1 in T20 series in Bangladesh T20 World Cup champions Coming straight out of the Tests against India, they jumped across the ditch to get beaten 3-2 by New Zealand. Oh, and if you think playing Test cricket was impossible during that stretch, this summer's foe, England, played 20 games in the same 23-month span in which Australia played four. The last male Test XI was: David Warner, Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Matthew Wade, Cameron Green, Tim Paine, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood.
