You heard it here ... well, probably ages after everyone else to be honest, but you heard it here as well ... Mussey is, as we speak, being airlifted in an emergency jet to India to salvage our hopes in the world cup.
Not that they were waning or anything, but we do still have Pakistan to come and the possibility of meeting India in the quarters so it won't hurt to have a little Mussey in our pockets, will it?
And that's not all - he's bringing the beloved Dutchman Dirty Dirk Nannes with him. The problem is, Nannes isn't coming to play. Don't get me wrong, he is willing to play if he must. Dang, he's willing to be a porter or a waiter if necessary. But the main reason he appears to be coming is because he has - and I quote - never been under Ricky Ponting.
The mind reels.
Thanks Jane for the quote/link.

Woohoo... as a Mussey fan, I am super happy that he will be playing in the WC.
:-)
Boohoo... as a Dirty Dirk fan, I am *urgh*... under P.Ricky!!??
Dunno why Dirty Dirk wasn't there in the first place. He's a damn good bowler
Two of the most sensible decisions taken by Hilditch and co in a long while....though I find it hard to believe that Nannes has played only one ODI for Australia in his career...
OK, first - who isn't a Mussey fan? He's a great batsman, he's from Perth (you can't argue with that logic) and he has a noce for the big occasions - he could make a real difference for us.
Dirty Dirk, I love him as well. I have no idea why he wasn't picked to begin with but I'm excited that he's finally going to be under PRicky, because isn't that something we've all secretly dreamed about?
I must add, though, Tracer - if you come on here again and give Hilditch a compliment, we will have to have quiet words you and I :-) Such things are not allowed.
(P.S. you're right, though)
A "noce"?? sigh.
He has a "nose" for the big occasions.
haha..will keep that in mind!
Very good, hope he comes out all guns blazing, would like to see him team up with Cam again
