You are quite right. He is on 95 now. However, if dropped, I am quite sure that he will announce his retirement. Your idea is an intriguing one because it is not going to be a series for the faint-hearted, nor for debutants.

The New Zealand series will be the tougher one of the summer and will require plenty of grit and determination. That certainly sounds like a call for Nasser rather than a debutant, although Collingwood might argue his own case on this score and add this he bowls better than "Saddam".
