2 day games are a joke! We had one at Northants and it hardly gives you any time. I think that a standard protocol should be set out for tour matches around the world; three days.

I'm hoping for something special from Brad Hodge and Michael Kasprowicz, who could be on his last chance to perform.

Might I add, Dizzy has been given a chance to perform, but you'd expect if MacGill can claim his token five fer, he'll play in the next test match. Tait, Kasprowicz, Gillespie and MacGill are competing for one spot in the final test.

On the batting front; it is a two horse race between Hodge and Hayden; a good thing the selectors haven't gone for the kneejerk Hussey/Watson approach.
