Good eye Nisha.

The Cricket Australia National Selection Panel has named a 14-man squad to take on South Africa in Perth on Friday.

Clarke (c)
Watson (vc)
Cowan
Hazlewood
Hilfenhaus
Hastings
M Hussey
Johnson
Lyon
Ponting
Siddle
Starc
Wade
Warner



Thoughts? I didn't really expect Johnson, although he is better in Perth I guess.

I hope things go well for the Aussies this time round
Please... Call me Kesh

Channel 9 is going to show the Ashes live next year (in July, when we're in England).

THANK GOD. I WILL NOT HAVE TO STREAM AND WATCH IT IN CRAPPY QUALITY.

SBS probably would have aired it anyway, they did so in 2005 and 2009.

IIRC SBS just showed the Sky Sports coverage so we had all the British commentators, who are quite fantastic. Fingers crossed 9 get some new ones in.

I think it was a good move on his part, leaving on his own terms with a tie with Steve Waugh on the most test matches for Aus :)
