typical bloody convicts!
We've got convict outfits for Boxing Day but not sure how that will go due to the massive police operation around the first day and we aren't with the barmy army.
I've got a members pass for the third, they def won't let me in wearing it but I can drink strong beer.
Can't wait, although the tails are up over here.
Eta - Aussie press are portraying this as win or bust due to the long range forecast for Sydney, well some of them anyway

Hmm, Bresnan in and bowling first, not sure I'm entirely with this choice, but would love the Tesco Value FLintoff to run through them and prove me wrong.

Apparantly Strauss believes swing will matter, rather than banging it in - In other words, they don't need Shazad to reverse it with a fucked up ball cos it will swing conventionally or something like that. Other argument would be that they don't trust Shazad as much as Bresnan who will keep it tight if not terrify anyone. It's either horses for courses or a timid selection....
