If he can get into Liz Hurly he can get back into this Australian team

I always thought Hurley spoke with a plum in her mouth . . . never in a million years did I think they'd be Shane Warne's . . .

He has texted me to apologise, seems I was storm-watching at the time so he had to settle for second best.......

The latest is grab a comfy seat and a cold one and enjoy England retaining The Ashes ... then drink in the press reaction ...

I think they won't pick Beer. They will go with four quicks plus Watson and use Steve Smith as their spinner

Quality from the Barmy Army, to the tune of Don't Look Back In Anger:

Slip inside Ricky Ponting's mind
He's trying to find
Some new players to play
He wants to play his older team
But that's just a dream
They're too old to play

He said he'd start a revolution in his head
But he's been through all the players A to Z
Now there's just a summertime of doom
If he loses the Ashes race
He is going to lose his place
Losing three would simply tear his heart out

So Ricky can wait
Shane Warne is too late
And there's no Glenn McGrath
Gilchrist's had his day
And don't look back to Langer
He cannot play

Hilditch has seen the Channel 9 'Know When to Declare' ads and knows when one Beer is too many.

I would have stuck with North for the spinning duties and picked another batsman. I would have liked to have seen Stewie Clark picked too.
