Monty will be in for Anderson at Perth, mainly because the wicket takes spin, but also Anderson looks unfit at present, which is hardly surprising.

If you cannot stretch to a hamper you can make up for it by serving drinks for everyone else. We have enough standard bearers.

We would not want you to degrade yourself by having to travel with us.

Well the conversation chances in Croydon must be limited...
