Bailey fine to play tomorrow, despite being hit on hand by Mitch Johnson in nets. Expects to captain the team if @mclarke23 ruled out.

Mitch Johnson is a danger around hands.

Noticed it was reported today that Watson is still struggling with his injury and CA is cautious re. his return.

Bailey has been struck on the hand in the nets and is in doubt too.

Is part of Quntouris' job description to carry voodoo dolls of all Aus cricketers with him at all times and regularly stick them with pins? FFS and FMD.

Maxwell will replace Clarke if he fails to get over the line. Bailey reckons he will never feel comfortable in Aussie colours; will always be looking over his shoulder.

So Yodoyono and Reeks in the Australian side at the same time.

Ye Gods.

Fixed

Beetle puts Weed at No. 1, and he promptly plays out a maiden.

Pitch looks good, which will probably mean we get rolled for 200 with this ridiculously short batting line up.

270 looks par here.

Struggling with Dilli's straight breaks.

interesting that wade is in ...protecting fuse?

FMD that was a shit dismissal.

We are so screwed when we go to India.

FFS, A Dilli straight break goes straight past MrsK's outside edge and hits his off stump. Just what we need with only 4 batsmen.
