Yeah, it's been reported elsewhere that the telegraph have admitted that it isn't true.

Whoever comes into their team we'll have to look at, process, work out how we're going to play against them like any other player, whether it be Shane Warne, Merv Hughes or anyone else.

'Senior Living Communities' — is this where our batsmen reside when they're not making faint pretence at the crease?

WTF is going on with our selectors? They were bad enough before, but now they seem to have plumbed the depths of self-deception.

OK, so that's a new level of weird - Johnson was always going to miss Adelaide. They must have been so pleased when he was shit in Brisbane, it justified the dropping.

Unless he deliberately played bad. We did consider the possibility that he was secretly on the ECB payroll.

Nothing would surprise me anymore.

Might not only be the selectors who have gone bonkers; last few days, I've heard cricket commentary questioning the decision to drop Johnson for Adelaide which would have suited him so much better than the Gabba. Now you know: 'twas the Gremlins of Gabba who made him do it.
