That's foolish gung-ho talk.
There is always a place for ONE sheet-anchor.
It was the West Indians lack of an effective one in the Caribbean that gave us that easy 3 - 0 victory.
Hitting our way out of trouble has never been our forte, partially because it is hard to do on seaming (and swinging) tracks.
Other Test nations have done it to us regularly in the recent past because our attack has been so ordinary.
Maybe we could do it against New Zealand, shorn of Bond...but it might not be so clever against an improved West Indian outfit...and it would certainly be fool-hardy against the South Africans.
