Well, the fourteen has been announced. And it appears the selectors completely forgot about the fact that Australian pitches tend to be bouncy. And picked two fast bowlers and two medium pacers. If I was Matthew Hayden I would quite possibly be making a great big mess out of my underpants at the thought of feasting upon Liam and Sangrah's bowling.
And Guy has been picked ahead of Corey. Well, you can imagine the aftermath of that. Let's just say it resulted in another trip back to Brisbane Royal an several long, drawn out operations regarding the removal of cricket stumps from sensitive areas.
The tour finished this week after several days' intense net practice. Anthony McGrath spent so long teaching me to play the short ball - I can now effortlessly deflect it to any one of gully, second or third slip without looking at it. Ajit has given Liam hands-on knowledge of how to neutralise the Aussie pace attack (well, the best directions to and from the pavilions) and Andy Flower imparted his knowledge on how to keep wicket and bat to Pete, Megan and Andre (as well as how to get dodgy citizenship qualiifcations), whilst Curtly Ambrose and Mark Waugh both excelled in passing on their specialist knowledge gained from decades of top level competition. Unfortunately, they were sent to the wrong ends of the nets, so that really didn't help anyone.
Tomorrow, we have a 5-way Beach Cricket Tournament followed by a Karaoke evening. Let's hope it all stays peaceful. Yeah, right.

Must apologise for lateness. Have been busing working/watching football/abusing short Welsh people.
Ahh, 'tas been an eventful week. The Beach Cricket Championship managed to pass without any arrests (and not just because I'm too lazy to write them in..) Had its fair share of intrigue however, and Blewy's man-of-the-tournament display did more than a little to ensure his place in the 14. The tournament was won by the Neil Pickup XI (I didn't cheat!) thanks to two centuries from Blewy. Eyes_Only and Marc71178 were the other players to reach three figures.
However the real interest came off the pitch as a bit of old rivalry resurfaced - and I think it might have had more than a little bit do with the squad selections... A certain leg spinning allrounder was, well, let's say, fraternising with a fairly attractive local member of the opposite *** - fairly successfully as well, it should be said - when a certain off spinning all rounder made very short shrift of the burgeoning relationship.
Legal speak over, net result was Reuben scoring and Rich in floods of tears. We were lucky that we actually managed to finish the tournament as the tide was coming in as well, the rate things were coming from both directions we could well have been calling for the armbands before too long (cue Blewy's aerial routes)...
Rich wouldn't come out of his damn room for the evening karaoke, well he missed out, that's all I can say.
More to come on that, when I sort out the tapes, and the warm-up games later...
