I'll be supporting the underdogs Aus team.

I feel they have an outside chance to win as they have a good pace attack.

Not my fault that Ponts is a slow subbie.

Looks a good squad.

Harris, Khawaja and Rogers will strengthen the team.

Doolan did better & where is he?

When did Doolan play the Saffies here?

Heh - Link

Ryan Harris, the Kings XI Punjab fast bowler, has returned to Australia from the IPL after being diagnosed with an Achilles tendon injury. Harris left India on Tuesday, the night before he was named in Australia's squad for the Ashes in England this summer.

No, he was just highlighting a score against the SA attack. No one mentioned test matches specifically.

On cue, Harris has returned home after crocking out of the IPL.

I presumed BD was talking about blokes in contention for the tour squad ... we all know Doolan hasn't played a Test yet (and won't unless he moves to NSW).

A bit earlier than I thought.

Maybe Johnson will tour after all.

'take the positives' for Harris

He's out of the IPL now, and will have time to recover but won't have time to get injured again before he tours England.

Then gets injured in the first warm up game.

Hopefully MILF is next in line, but if another quick goes down... pale

I suspect Rhino's been 'pulled' from the IPL for patriotic reasons. He was on the plane as soon as confirmed selected for the Ashes gig.

Aye - hopefully it's a strategic rather than real twinge.

FFS, Rhino is made of glass.

rofl@skully....even midge was mighty when compared to Hacken...I am worried Skully is snorting too many fumes off the gestetner at Bronny B's lib party hq
