I dont think Wade would have moved if he was not going to play. Both he and Paine played in the match against Queensland, but Wade was the keeper :hmmm

I also notice that Handscomb has been donning the gloves for Victoria in the JLT cup.

Im hoping Australia is not getting any ideas about that for the tests.....

Wade could play for Tas as a batsman lol..... Handscomb was always going to keep for victoria in limited overs cricket this year...maybe he will be OZ's future keeper in limited overs but not tests...

This is on BT in the UK this time, so that's going to cut down the audience. Don't know if there any terrestrial highlights planned.

Swann, Vaughan, Alison Mitchell, Boycott and some Aussies: Ponting, Gilchrist, Fleming, Slater.

Someone picked Boycott?!

I haven't taken specific time off, but I'll follow it when I am on days off, on the radio and cricinfo.

Wonder why they keep going back to McG who isn't an interesting commentator. I can at least tolerate the rest (save Geoffrey of course). Devastated there no Vic Marks.

I like Vaughan, Maxwell Tuffers and Mann. Agnew is good once you filter out misgivings about his pro-ECB bias. I feel neutral over the others.

My favourite Aggers, Mann, Marks and Coney. I like a bowler's pespective though so also will miss Marks.
Boycott and Ed Smith are my worst. Smith with his favourite topics and the cricket is just a side line unless there is a bit going on and screams Cook is OUT, oh no he's not, sorry and I recover from a near heart-attack. Happened a few times. Thing is when Smith and Boycott are on together Smith can't get a word in. :)
