*Official* Australia in England

International 12th Man
Made a post on this in another thread somewhere a few weeks back. Had a bit of a look and it Bailey has only ever averaged more than 40 a season on 3 occasions (including last) and even then the highest of those was only 42/43. Decent, but not exactly the sort of numbers that scream "test batsmen" at you.
An FC average in the 30s won't help him. An average in the mid 40s or above and good form in the last two season would of helped him to the squad.

God, how anyone can like Strauss is beyond me. Looks so much like that scumbag Alex Hawke I can't believe it.

And who's this Bedwetter fellow opening the batting for England? Damien Fleming just said on Fox he came through the traditional England way - the SA Under 19 team. Is that so?

And Broad still looks like a lady.

Can't get up for this, we've just played Bangladesh so what do we get? Further incompetent opposition.

Applied for tix for the Lord's game but was turned down. As it stands Eng may have a WC QF that day (yeah, yeah, yeah) but I'd have loved to have been going to one of these.

Great to see Jimmeh back in the colours

Stoked for Hazelwood, great news. Have a good mate at college that played against him in Tamworth, so have been following him for a while. Here's hoping he goes well.

The fact you didn't get them suggests the MCC still has some standards.

Never been to a game at Lord's like so it was on my to-do list for this year.

There may still be tix for the Eng-Pak Test but funds are a bit tight now really. Gotta save up for a trip to London in July when the footballers parade the WC like.

Congrats to the ECB and CA - it's only taken 120 odd years but you've finally arranged a totally irrelevant clash between England and Australia
