I might sound anti-Australian but I think that's good news.

Harris named as replacement for Lee in the T20 squad, excellent news for Rhino.

Harris named as replacement for Lee in the T20 squad, excellent news for Rhino.

Michael Clarke believes Australia's best Twenty20 players should be included in Cricket Australia's contract list. On the eve of the ICC World Twenty20 in the Caribbean, Australia's Twenty20 captain said it seemed unjust that formal deals were not in place for short-format specialists like David Warner, David Hussey and Dirk Nannes.

It makes sense..especially where you think of current and future revenue for ACB
