Dear Brett,
Are you injured again? What a shame. Does this mean you might not be able to play in the Caribbean? That really would be awful, Brett, just awful. We'll just have to make do with Johnson, Nannes and Tait. They're not you, of course, but we'll have to manage, won't we?
Not that I would want to be seen as coercing you or anything, and you know I really am your biggest fan, but maybe you should consider retiring altogether. You really have been a walking injury this last year or so, haven't you? It's just a thought.
Of course, I am the chairman of selectors (honest, I am) and can just choose not to use you if I want, but when I do that people get all mean to me. It seems you're a popular guy with the Australian public and I'm not. Can't think why ... I'm so jolly. And damn powerful.
Take care (or don't ...)

No, really.

"I am the chairman of selectors (honest, I am)" - wonderful. I don't think anyone knows why he still has the job. Anon = Adrian (for future posts)
Thanks Adrian - I go at Hildy as often as possible for just that reason: why is he still chairman?
I remember being all excited last year when it looked like he might have to step down.
Maybe Pakistan wants him. Butt and Hildy working to screw up Pakistan cricket together. Good for spectators.
Also good for Australia. I'd pay Pakistan to take him if they were interested.
