**Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

[Spikey]

February 8
Ian Chappell, Ravi Shastri and Wasim Akram in press box as India and Sri Lanka play an expectedly low-quality match. Shastri has us in splits with his stories of facing West Indies quicks. Remembers in proper detail how people would try to get injured, manufacture injuries, fall ill, just to avoid them. Hilarious stories all, but names can't be published here for obvious reasons.

Chappell remembers asking Tiger Pataudi where he worked.

"I am a prince, Ian," said Tiger.

"No, but what do you do you do for a living?" Chappell asked, not realising what being a prince meant.

"I told you, I am a prince, Ian."

"But 9 to 5, where do you go, what do you do?"

"I am a f***ing prince."

Chappell asked no more.

They better not drop Christian when they finally bring Marsh in. Should be dropping Forrest and batting Christian in the top 6 where he belongs.

plalor:
James Sutherland confirms haddin out for performance reason. That is, he is dropped

plalor:
Sutherland says "not comfortable" with level of public communication
