Gilly and Cooley to tour
Now that Australia are on an extraordinary 5 match losing streak, the panic button is finally being pushed and more frequently than a pedestrian crossing button. For starters, Troy Cooley will now tour with the side. He wasn't originally scheduled to go but with our recent bowling, Cricket Australia have seen the writing on the wall and forked out the airfare. With a bowling attack featuring relative newbies Mitchell Johnson and Shaun Tait, every bit of guidance and coaching is crucial. Obviously they read my earlier post on this very topic.
I'm also pleasantly surprised to learn that Adam Gilchrist will join the World Cup squad before their first warm-up match on March 6. Originally he'd planned to miss the first 3 weeks but an early birth of his third child has helped out the Aussie team somewhat. Congratulations, Gilly. Now get on the plane!

Thank you there is a god...it's not that I didn't understand Gilly wanting to be there for the birth but when your country needs you...!! Any news on Matty Hayden yet...will he be fit?? And Warnie making a comeback appearance?? Ok I know I'm dreaming!

Last I heard Hayden was going to be fit. I hope that hasn't changed!

Yes, I agree with okbi that the whole idea of missing the first half of the WC seemed a bit ridiculous to me. For my thoughts on the issue, see http://rasuvi.blogspot.com/2007/02/sneak-preview-australia.html. Anyway, its good now that he will be available 'cos the Aussies really need him all the more now with other injuries.
