Brad Hodge prepares for the biggest day of his life on Monday – a home Test at the MCG. He can clearly recall the days when Dennis Lillee was his hero, Bay 13 still existed and he was watching from the stands. The interview appears in The Australian.
Lillee writes in his West Australian column that Australia are “not ready to mount an Ashes campaign”. After watching the first Test against South Africa, Lillee believes they came up short.
If that was the best Australia could do against a South African team minus Jaques Kallis, then I'm afraid we are going to struggle against England next summer if selectors allow things to drift in the same direction.
An Australian VI lose to a bunch of Essendon AFL players, but the match is for charity so the selectors escape further blame.
