The selectors have made their decision and they will be happy with the way things have gone - you can't argue, |
The sides are pretty well matched. You probably look at the spin department, Australia are holding the edge in that department. But you could say it's pretty tight looking at the batting line-ups and the seam attacks. |

We actually had a barbecue that Sunday, ... I was out in the garden while a lot of the other blokes were inside watching the cricket on TV.

I was just some ordinary guy looking after his barbecue while this momentous battle unfolded at Trent Bridge. |
