The Ashes squad is to be announced tomorrow. The players are going to be dutifully waiting for the phone call which will determine the outcome of their life. Really, truly. It's that important if you're keen to blow it out of proportion as I often do.
It's mostly only the allrounder spots that are in contention, the rest seems pretty clear cut. Or at least, enough to make a likely decision about which players should be named in the touring squad. Personally, I think that Andrew Symonds might not make the cut this time, but if I were picking the team, I'd probably have him in the mix because he has proven in the past he can be an influential player.
Our spin bowling is still looking weak, and it will remain weak for the entire series. And this is while we're hearing news that the English are probably going to be preparing wickets with enough turn in them to sufficiently assist spinners. Oh dear. I don't particularly fear for our pace bowlng attack, but when it comes to spin, you could hardly call it an "attack", could you? It's more like a one-person tobogganer trying to make their way down a steep mountain.
Apparently our openers have been getting chummy lately. It's good to hear Katich can be friendly with someone on the team, although I think it does help that Hughes is not a pansy like dear old Pup. He smokes in the outfield, you know. Clarke would never do that.

Michael Clarke and Phil Hughes look like each other. Indeed, could they be the same person? Was the vice-captain sent on a spying mission to England?
You heard it here first.
He actually was. But England did it first. They sent a meerkat in the space of KP to spy on our preparations on the Gold Coast, so we returned the favour.
Oooo, you're right.
Eng probably did it accidentally though because they're not that clever.
Look closely, Clarke really is Hughes. The fact that he can bat both handed shows how up for the cause and disciplined he is. I just hope Lara don't find out about the smoking and him disrupting his ying yang.
Why aint you asleep yet?
Alright mother, I'm going.
There's a good girl.
Carrot Top preferred to Ex - Dreadlocks??? And when ExDL's off spin is surely better than Houritz's spin(?). Pup/Simon the spin twins to destroy England on Swanny's spin traps!! (Seriously - remember Mumbai Test?)
All other selections seem quite good though.
Adverbin, rest assured I will be getting to that subject in a post soon.
What kind of sleep was that? Did you take that laptop to your room again Amy? What did the Drs tell you about the dangers of sleep-blogging?
You wanted my slumber to last 14 hours? I have a job, you know.
Sorry, just looking out for your health. Silly me.
