Lord Nate is back - not with the baggy green, though (which I recently bought on ebay, incidentally. It was bargain and he assures me any proceeds will be going charity). And actually, not necessarily at all. He has been picked in the squad to face England in the ODIs, but so have Doherty and Smith so who the hell knows?
Brett Lee has also been picked, which is interesting. I imagine he'll actually get a game. I hope so anyway.
Here is the squad: Shane Watson, Brad Haddin (wk), Michael Clarke (capt), Cameron White, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, Steven Smith, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Hauritz, Brett Lee, Xavier Doherty, Peter Siddle, Shaun Tait, Doug Bollinger.
In other news, White gets to try his luck as T20 captain against England tomorrow morning (my time) and Hilditch has announced that he won't fuck off unless he is sacked. God help Australian cricket.
And finally, in a great example of complete internet stupidity, a girl from the USA who did nothing more than join Twitter and call herself @theashes, was given free tickets to Australia, an interview on a blog or two and now has a video on Cricinfo. I am not giving a link. There is no justice in the world.
I am also going to stop following her on Twitter.
That'll show her.

Look at how many bowlers they have chosen. What are they going to do to choose the attack? Play one potato, two potatoes?
I know! I wish my Twitter username was @theashes. WHY.
So unfair. :(
has anyone got the handle @cricketworldcup yet??
@Tracer - I think they have, actually. Bastards! I'm thinking I might become @everyAustraliantest and see if that gets me anywhere.
Lou, it is a bit OTT. This is why I'm not convinced Lord Nate will play - Smith, X and him? Nate deserves to play, X doesn't, Smith - meh.
Bring on Nate.
@Laura I was following her, I gave her some scrap when she got angry about being called a cricket match. She seems nice, but qantas giving her tickets to Aus and so much publicity just because of her twitter name? Oh please.
