You know....
Underneath the Southern Cross I stand...Australia, you ******* bewdy.
With Langer gone, the mantle needs to be passed on to someone else.
I see two candidates - Mike Hussey and Michael Clarke.
I feel that although Clarke's set for an extended time in the side, the fact he's only just come back in, will see Hussey get the job.
A fellow West Australian too.
It's not one that'll go in the record books, but following Rod Marsh, David Boon, Ian Healy, Ricky Ponting and Justin Langer is an honour.

He was born in Birmingham U.K. from a West Indian background...
That'd REALLY stick it up 'em!

I think it's classic, he stands there in front of the camera, dark skinned, white cream around the lips and dreadlocks, looking every inch a West Indian, then he speaks ... "Yeah mate", with a genuine Aussie twang. I love it.

Like Roy, Clive Waterhouse is a 'Brummy' (Birmingham native) too!
So are Heavy Metal/Hard Rock legends Black Sabbath & Judas Priest!
