Little Richard

But sadly in my next four picks I won't be grabbing Marshall, Benjamin, Walsh and Ambrose

Nah spinners are for fools. Four pronged pace attack is the way ahead.

Slap on the wrist? These Stalinist measures will see my team crippled

Ah whoops

You ruined my perfect top order HT! Great pick up though.

Good pick up with Kohli! Faf du Plessis (RSA).

The issue with the bowlers is lack of experience in England I think. A lot is riding on the shoulders of Siddle and Johnson (to a lesser extent as I doubt he'll play every test). Bird seems to be the kind of bowler who could be pretty useful in the English conditions and I have a lot of hope for him. Good mixture of bounce, accuracy and movement both ways. Pattinson could provide the intimidation factor,if he is firing! In regards to India, it will be a tough series. Lyon should take a few wickets, but it is going to be a massive year. Rotation policy will be in full effect.

Watching the ODI Narine is quite impressive. His action is really unconvincing but he gets genuine turn and some uneven bounce. He is only 24 too so hopefully he gets a few more tests in the future - the Windies haven't had a decent spinner in a long time.

Yes me neither, I am pretty confident for the ashes here though. It would take something very special to get up in England and I think Hussey is a huge gap going over there. Should be interesting.

Haha no harm done

I thought you might have cost me TD. Harbhajan Singh, India.

This had better be an impressive pick 45...

Damn, he was on the list.

I think it would be more heartbreaking to learn we spent the last decade being rubbish AND we were on drugs. Now that would be disastrous.

Awesome, our first win for the year! My mate says if they are proven guilty etc he is coming on over to Melbourne.

Yeah Tarantino's latest was so good it inspired a name change! Sorry for the timing guys

I just want to say I hope your gem is Tino Best of the West Indies.

I've still got a couple of gems in the works which I hope others have missed/forgotten about and I don't want that ruined! My team is struggling enough.

There's no room for this scum on our ground.

He's been making many of these runs against the best attack in the world. And to think, he's never even had a beer.

She's a nasty piece of work. If A Current Affair had a sport section, Caro would be the prime candidate. A team of her and Tracey Grimshaw makes the bile rise in my throat.

Gautam Gambhir, India. Edit: spelling.

Mitchell Johnson, bit of X factor.

Yeah well it'll be interesting to see how she goes acting in features. Looks like I have a bit of viewing to do, cheers! Nah it's good to have a break from all the footy talk I think.

Haven't seen Red Dog but I heard it was quite good. Saw Napoleon Dynamite when it first came out and hated every second of it but I now have two copies lying around and have probably watched it at least 5 times. Haven't seen the film of Wake in Fright but recently saw a theater performance of it and that was really great.
