You may have noticed that when we announced the list of players with contracts for 2010/11, you were not on it. Annoying, isn't it?
Well, you have been out injured for a long time. I know, I know - so has Brett Lee and Jimmy Hopes. I'm not a big fan of Brett, but I'm pretty sure I'd get hate mail if he was left off the list and that makes me cry. And Jimmy, well when he is fit he's pretty handy. He's much better with a bat than you.
You'll notice Manou also got dropped for Tim Paine. I like Timmy, he's so cute. I have big jones for Callum Fergie as well, so he had to be on the list injured or no. With him and Shaun Tait, that's our South Aussie quota filled so Manou had to go. Plus, I hate that stupid song.
And then there's Andrew McDonald. Well, we just kept him on for a laugh. We'll never use the useless fucker. It all came down to hair in the end. Sorry mate, but you chose to have that silly hair cut; Andy didn't choose to be so ginger. Oh, and your middle name is Wade. I don't like it.
At the end of the day, I am the Chairman of Selectors (no, really) and I can do whatever the hell I want.

Seriously ... I am.
Amazing, I know.

It's time for Bracken to become a freelancer.
Kind of weird that Voges keeps getting a contract. I can't really work out why apart from that perhaps they just do it to niggle Brad Hodge.
Can't think of a single, solitary reason why otherwise.
I didn't think about Our Ads, but yes I guess it is a bit odd; the one who definitely stood out for me though was Ginger MacDonald - what's up with that? It has to be for a laugh.
It would upset me if Bracks went freelance, as it would any of the Aussie players, but maybe it's his only chance now. I guess his best option is to play his arse off for NSW and hope for next year.
But Ginger is still in there with a chance. They took him to England in the Ashes squad and took him to India for the One Dayers. He was actually going to play in the last one as they sent Mitchie home, but it was abandoned. And he has played test matches. He has also captained Victoria and has been bowling and batting reasonably well during the state season. I can see him, it is Adam Voges that I don't get.
I guess so, but I'm biased - I like Voges. I'm real sorry that Bracks is out; I think he'd have been a better choice than either Ads or Ging.
