Boof was the selector of this side

And he didn't even pick himself?? I'd have him in the Redbacks team still!

Sweet thanks. I don't get the Sunday Mail or the Advertiser hardly so rely on the Messenger guide for my FTA tv.

At first I thought it might be because he coaches an IPL side now but then remembered he's Gilchrist's coach in the IPL and Gilly's playing so.

Could this be the most irrelevant wank ever played on Australian soil?????

Yes.

it is almost Australia vx Australia A.

I think it will be good to watch.

Just think
Tait Vs Gilly and Langer
Ryan Harris vs haydos and Clarke
Cullen vs Symonds and the two husseys

How can Katich be on the Former Stars side....
He's just about the form opener in Aus....

It's not irrelevant - Taity and Simmo are back.

He is the form opener in Oz. Very solid.

Only good thing is seeing Noffke playing in/against the company he deserves

In the long form of the game. Don't think Marsh did anything wrong in the West Indies to suggest he shouldn't open in the one-dayers.

Is Tait confirmed in?

Yes.

No gig for Hilfenhaus in either side? Drew and Geeves picked bfore him.

What a load of carp! At least they could have picked Warnie for the all stars! might have made it worthwhile to watch!

Aaaah. Flashbacks! Gilly used to play in the Australia A side as well.
