Interested in a few details about Australia’s secret training exercise next week? In The Courier-Mail Ben Dorries writes Reg Dickason, the long-term security guard of the team, will be overseeing the four-day “bootcamp”.
Ricky Ponting and the rest of Cricket Australia's 25 contracted players will arrive in Brisbane next Tuesday night and be herded to an undisclosed location under the cover of dawn the following morning. It is believed Survivor-style food-gathering exercises will be among the tasks. John Buchanan is the brainchild behind the back-to-basics camp that has been organised by Dickason, a former undercover policeman who hides behind dark sunglasses and a bristling moustache.
