rhino out with a sore knee. 1st test attack is almost certainly starc/haze/johnson now.

Who the **** is Thomas Moore? Listed as a player/umpire on Cricinfo, no information about the type of bowler he is, but he's 0-2 through 1 picking up Rogers and Clarke in back-to-back deliveries. Get him in the squad!

Looks like Watson is hitting his way into form. 41 in 43 balls now, with 7 boundaries and a sixer

Tickets secured for Saturday. Realized we only get the Eurostar across on Friday so it's sorted. Meant I had to join Essex CCC as a member, so I hope none of you riff raff turn up on the day and expect anything other than short shrift. Have been told we will likely meet the players.

As for the #heatwave, currently 38 in Paris. No afternoon sea breeze either. Off to Le Louvre and will leave all you la tête merdes to it.

M Marsh > Watson, Nevill > Haddin.

If I was an England supporter I'd be ecstatic if Aus played Watson and Haddin in the first test.

I'm not a Watto fan but if Harris isn't fit then his miserly accurate bowling is more useful than Marshes batting. To go in without Harris and then pick Marsh makes me nervous. If Starc and MJ don't start well you basically have to go straight to Lyon. Now sure maybe they both fire and it's not an issue but I would prefer Wattos bowling just in case.

I have a feeling that Votes might be the scapegoat.
