Interesting decision.

I must admit and eat humble pie. I did not rate him but his last 18 months has been a revelation for me.

No answer would suggest he's been evaced.

Now might be a good time to point out the growing resemblance between Tweak and Red's fave St K pin-up boy Nick Riewoldt. If the Tweakster can lead his mob of aging hacks and high-maint mavericks half as well as St Nick has over many years, the Oz Test team is in good hands.

I am okay, thanks.

Our building opposite Chifley is in lockdown. But there are people walking in and out. I am waiting on mgmt to make the decision for us to leave. ASX stil remains open.

Hope everyone is okay.

Big promotion for a guy with only limited captain experience.

Well that's something I suppose. AB wouldn't have had that much more: a handful of games over two seasons for Qld on the rare times when he wasn't playing for Australia.

Clarke requires hammy surgery so it looks like his WC campaign is over. Smith may get the opportunity to assume the reins here too.

Yeah, good call. Hadn't thought of it.
