I agree with that. Although I suppose those around the England team would probably point to the success the ultra aggressive style has brought them.

There does have to be some kind of sense though. The commentators on tms actually predicted Livingstone's dismissal '4 dot balls from Boult, feel that Livingstone is going to go for a big heave here'. I found myself thinking ' the Livingstone of last year would, but he looks like he's matured now and will probably be happy to see Boult off'. Sure enough, out he gets.
With the kiwis relying on 10 overs from part timers it just seems so daft to get so frustrated at 4 dots from the oppositions premier bowler.
