36 year-old replacing a recently retired 37 year-old.

Aceman is getting slack with his SACA related posts… Jake Fraser-McGurk has left Victoria to head to South Aus in search of more opportunities.

Nah, it just isn’t real news worthy. Forgive me for being pretty non plussed about it as I think he is bog average but then that fits in well with most of our recruiting. Doesn’t help when the bloke in charge is a total dud though.

Surely Neser plays a test this year in England

He’s not in the squad so will take an injury for him to get a sniff.

Just found out I am going to be in London during the 2nd Test (at Lord’s). Now to beg/borrow/steal a ticket somehow!

Check for Day 5?

Looking for Day 3 at the moment. It is not easy!

The squad is only named for the test championship and the first 2 Ashes tests. A new squad will be named for the last 3 tests. I call this the David Warner loophole.

Second third dismissals of hat trick didn’t offer a shot!
