The Ashes can wait

The Ashes can wait... some serious cricket first as reported in The Australian

After decades of wasting their summers at Lord's, the SCG and Sabina Park, a clique of ageing Test cricketers has finally realised what the rest of us have known for years - the best games are played on the beach.

Mark Waugh, Damien Fleming and Dean Jones will make up the rest of the local side, which will face off old adversaries such as Courtney Walsh, Joel Garner, Curtly Ambrose, Graham Gooch, Allan Lamb and Graham Hick in the international clashes.

One side of the field will be constantly under water, which has caused concern for some of the West Indies players and the English, who either cannot swim or have heard too much about the man-eaters that surf at our beaches.
