Don't worry, you can't - a GM will do so.

Was checking out the July Foxtel TV Guide (for Aussie viewers).
This series gets a good screening on Fox.
I think only one night of the first three Tests starts at the later time of 10:30pm.
For all other days of the Test, the coverage commences at the begining of the day's play.
Hoping for a Kallis run fest, tbh.

Cool, taking any pics?
I'll be at the Uxbridge (if I can find it) for the Middlesex South Africa game, if anyone wants a protein shake (that sounds rather ghey, sorry)...
at the idea of drinking protein-shakes as a "cuppa tea" substitute TBH.

Probably not.. I take thousands a week now and it's nice when I can actually walk around without all my camera gear.. Kind of liberating

He got injured.

Okay - but why no recall when he was fit?

Because it was an entire year later and he was 36 years old. There were lingering doubts over his fitness and longevity and his return season was pretty lean - he averaged over 35 in the County Championship in 2004. By the time he was consistently getting on the park on putting in good performances it was 2005, and we all know what happened then...

Not really, imo. His 7-for was in the final test of an ashes series where we'd lost the other 4 tests and he'd barely done a thing. When we needed him to lead the way, he was completely ineffective - as had been the case in the previous ashes series too. His time had gone, and 7 wickets on a very helpful 4th innings pitch in a dead rubber did nothing whatsoever to change that.

Well England had a stack of injuries on that tour so they didn't have a stack of options. As I said, too, he got injured - if he didn't get that injury I'm sure he would have retained his place.
Furthermore, lets not forget Michael Vaughan's last ODI.

We're all aware of your feelings on Caddick, and I remain baffled that you think the likes of Harmison, Anderson etc. are even fit to lace his boots.
Yes, his career was a disappointment 1993-1998, and again 2001-2002/03, but even in these times he had his moments - and in his bad times these moments were more frequent than Harmison and Anderson for the vast proportion of their careers.
I'm highly disappointed Caddick got injured when he did, as I believe we'd have been a better side with him in it the last 5 years.
BTW, I know SA have reached the height of absurdity regarding their openers long ago, but they're having a decent stab at going higher still this game - McKenzie opening instead of de Villiers is stupid, Duminy opening instead of him more stupid still.
But where could the likes of Kallis prefer to open the tour than Taunton? Perfect for some early nick-getting-into, especially when the attack is made-up of the likes of Turner, Durston and Suppiah. Just hope they cash-in to the fullest extent.
I wonder how often a wicket has fallen to the opening ball of a tour though? As has happened with Caddick dismissing McKenzie here.
