Aussie squad announcement

[TheKentishFledgling]

First day in Aus on Monday, walking around Circular Quay in Sydney, come across a chap holding a sign saying "Aussie Ashes Squad announcement, 11.30am".

Head over to where he's pointing, and see a big screen with the interview hoarding backgrounds set up, and lots of TV cameras in front. Lean on the railing to see who's about and what's going on - who do we see?



Announces the squad with the chairman of selectors, answers a view questions - definitely NOT the chipper, confident Ponting we'd have seen two-three years ago....



Few more head on to answer some questions - Kattich and Shane Watson (who is a serious unit).



Incredible game just finished at the SCG, and now having a cool one watching England v Aus A on the box up in Hobart - Ian Bell's just been dismissed for 192, his batting's looked class.

Roll on next week

PS not a bad view out of our apartment window, either

Have they reduced the Aussie squad below 22,529,040 yet? Or are they planning on playing the flies as well?

Hauritz dropped. Doherty and Smith are in.
