    Could be handy Matty. He can bowl all day and rarely gets injured. Worth saying too, that some of the Australian test pitches are not all out pace jobs now, so might suit him.

    Got to start well (something that his test team does seem to do) because down under, you can blink and be 0-2 before you know it.
    Avoid defeat in the 1st test and it sets you up with a bit of momentum - the Aussies batting line up is weak and we have to try and exploit it. Ultimately it will be our batters v their bowlers that decides the series.

    Aw man. Gutted. Cracking age though. Happy if I make it within 10 of that!

    Rest in peace Harold “Dickie” Bird. Been to a talk in with him once. Very funny bloke and loads of great stories
