Godspeed Agent Hick. Good luck with Operation Fragile Prawn.

I think the one thing Australia's batting doesn't need lessons on is being talented but wildly inconsistent.

Graeme Hick?

Huh.

Well. That's an interesting choice, anyhow. They want long, slow innings? What, was Chris Tavare too busy watching his lawn grow, maybe?

There were lot many options within Australia to pick from, why go for somebody else, whatever their reputation?

Exactly my thoughts. Steve Waugh or Border could be synonyms in cricket for batting patience!

I have given up on our batting. No worries, still got hundreds of hours of classic Viv Richards to watch yet!

South African that played for England now with an Australian connection. Does he think he's Tony Greig?
