They have key bowlers? When did that happen? :dunno:

Just made a last minute transfer to my fantasy team with the inclusion of Ashton "the plate" Agar. Swapped him in for Lyon who was one of the four required Australians in the team. About to find out if the ABC have sent a radio broadcast team over, cos there ain't no free to air tv broadcast :(

Ah. I was wondering where I should put this.
