We knew someone was on the way out. Betti and I had hopes on who it might be (she=all of them; me=Hilditch), but as it turns out the sucker was Merv Hughes, he of the famous huge 'tache. The decision was reportedly made in a meeting during which "feedback" on all selectors was given by the chairman, and senior arse himself, Andrew Hilditch.
So, what might that feedback have been, do you think? Here are some suggestions:
"Merv's 'tache is bigger than mine and I don't like it."
"I can only drink one half of a white wine spritzer to Merv's 6 beers and it makes me cry."
"Some Aussie cricket blogger likes to call us the Merv and Hildy show if (when) we cock up, and that sucks so Merv has to go."
"Merv knows something about cricket while I know fuck all and we can't have that."
or maybe just:
"They're all better than me but I am not going anywhere so let's just draw a name out of a hat, eh?"
Is it just me, or is this a bit like getting Kim Hughes to nominate Australia's worst ever cricket captain?

Ah, our very own Clown Posse.
With Australian cricket's current weight obsession (they're worse than a bunch of anorexic teenage girls, I swear), Merv had to go because he was the FATTEST. You know it makes sense.
Bring back Merv!
I heard the Aussie players are growing 'taches for the 1st Test in support of Merv. Nathan was having some trouble though...but it all worked out alright when it was explained to him that he wasn't playing.
They may be growing 'taches for Movember, possibly. Remember Bracken's last year - took his all month and it was still tiny, bless him. I think Hauritz grew one last year for charity as well, but when the month was up it was still a little bit of fluff.
There's a weight obsession? Have I missed that? Merv is pretty fat, but I still think mega 'tache outdoes fat. Maybe they could Boonie on the panel as well?
Bring back Merv!
Hauritz is captaining NSW in their Shiel match against Queensland today
Cheers, Matthew - I didn't realise. I will be keeping an eye on that, then.
'There's a weight obsession?'
Cosgrove kicked out of the Redbacks (Cox, anyone?); Warner not actually playing in India because of 'fitness' issues — which, according to the Inside Cricket panel, is code for 'Dave, you're too fat'. (The panel then went on to discuss how the Australian team 'prides' itself on how 'fit' its members are.) So, yes, there is certainly an emphasis on weight.
Why wasn't there this emphasis on weight when fatty Warne was around?
