By the way, moving on from politics for a bit - are any of you guys following the Ashes?

Drop Cowan, promote Hughes back to 3, elevate everyone by 1 and replace Cowan with Bird. I agree with the idea about his consistent line and length, which works perfectly if McGrath shows him where to bowl at Lords. I think we can go in with 5/1/5 pretty happily with our lower order.
Swap out Pattinson for Harris, and rotate the two of them and Starc over the series, depending on who's firing. Not for any sort of medical rotational reason, but on the basis of form. If Starc and Pattinson both aren't performing, no reason why they shouldn't be swapped out for another bowler ready to go.
As for Dar - is he best in the world? I know that he's had a reputation for being incredibly pissed off on the rare occasions he's been overturned in the last couple of years (he's had a pretty good record in the past), yes this game was ridiculously bad.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##

We'll have to agree to disagree then - I think our lower order is plenty enough to act as our '6th' batsman - pretty fair to say that we have the strongest lower order in the world right now. I don't think that Clarke is reliable as a 5th batsman, and our bowling attack isn't good enough to chuck a Jimmy Anderson when the rest of the pack isn't firing.
Ah well. Anyway, about to hop on a flight back to Sydney. Keep the Blues flags flying while I'm gone!

At least I made it back in time for the streaker.

Wow, I am so salty that we lost that.
That restart after the streaker rule is !@#$ing atrocious.

Be good if Clarke hits his purple patch again. He hasn't been batting all that well this year so far.

Moved to Hamilton Island, and went off the radar.

I've all but given up hope. My only chance of redemption is to think of a witty thing to say to my Pommy colleague about how badly we're getting slaughtered.
