Am I allowed to say I am finding it hard to have enthusiasm for this fixture?

How many of the current Aus side will be allowed to appear?

Chin up Skulls. It's actually been a great series, sadly it will be remembered for the wrong reasons.

Well cheers Bas, but to us Aus cricket fanatics it doesn't get any more gutting than this.

As I said yesterday, the sick feeling of Headingley 81 and Ashes 05 are nothing compared to this current rock in the pit of my gut.

Can we all come to an agreement and just let the Snoozers fill in against the Yarpies, with their scheduled opponents flying home?

Tongue in cheek I know, beams, but as taips said, that would contractually cost Cricket Aus a bomb.

And as I said, split that cost between the players and coaches, and tell them each to pay their share if they ever want to represent Australia again.

Anyway, SA would still get a game with my suggestion...

Will be curious to see who gets flown over. Renshaw, Burns, Head-Failey to replace Seasick, gcspoc and Mrs R.

The disaster has helped the absence of scrutiny on Bog's continued failures.Of course he should be dropped but won't be.

Just stick with what you have left, and play a full XI of bowlers, keepers and Marshes. Won’t make any difference to the result...

Or maybe the Yarps could lend you a few players, like school games where one team turns up a couple short...

Anyway, Renshaw confirmed called up. If he’s the only reinforcement required it suggests there won’t be a mass cull of Cape Town starters.

Yep. Clearly Bancroft is safe with Wank to come into the middle order (and struggle to get past single figures).

So they keep the actual perpetrator of the act, and promote the messenger sent to tell him to hide the evidence. That’s really making a statement...
