And so, now that normal service has resumed and the knee-jerk 'demise of Australian cricket' will have to be put on the back burner (actually, make that 'put in the incinerator'), the media will have to come up with a new angle to make their coverage interesting.
Andrew Symonds will struggle to get back in so any news about him now isn't really news.
My guess is they are banking on one of the new cats to show their real claws in the not-too-distant future; preferably on the eve of the third test.
I think Hilfenhaus might be a bit of a goer. Under that dishevelled goatee might be the binge drinking, white-stuff hoovering, womanising maniac that is the sub-editors' dream.
Or maybe Phil Hughes will be found celebrating his sixteenth birthday at some seedy Cape Town pub with a bevy of hot women and underworld figures.
Let's just hope it happens soon, before Roebuck, Dorries and co. have to resort to laying the boots into Punter again for something as trivial as his 'on-field body language'.
Oh no, a captain who is disappointed with the way his bowlers are bowling - can't have that!
