I interpreted McCullum's umbrage at being accused of 'running a loose ship' to be more focused on the 'running' bit. "Nobody's running anything mate. We've put the sail up and we're going to see where the wind takes us."

What shall we do with the drunken captain of the HMS McCullum? Chuck him in the long boat ’til he’s sober? Or just leave him alone to pursue a T20 World Cup win?

Loving the book “The 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Moments” by @liebcricket.com and @kingcricket.co.uk!
The only slightly annoying thing is finding out that Pat Cummins is funny in addition to being great at literally everything else. Greedy sod.

Good, unbiased review.
I overheard someone on a tram the other day saying the book was evocative of Lou Reed!
Or perhaps they said it was a provocative loo read.
Either way, worth purchasing.
