Betcha he can't wait to get stuck into the Poms and right a few wrongs.

I hope he gets selected Baz. Old Mitch has around one great Test match out of every ten with the other nine being shite. Now he's got the good one out of the way we eagerly await the rest.

Just hoping that he can start being consistent for a change. When he is on song, he is almost unplayable. He wants to be recognised as an all-rounder now.



Aussies hope he can keep doing this

News just in - Tony Greig has died of lung cancer.

A Channel Nine statement said: "Tony Greig is a name synonymous with Australian cricket - from his playing days as the English captain we loved to hate, to his senior role in the revolution of World Series Cricket, his infamous car keys in the pitch reports and more than three decades of colourful and expert commentary."

Both CMJ & Tony Greig were around the same age (66-67) when they passed away.
