DON'T TAKE THE DEAL!!

Knowing South Australia and their linguistic behaviours, it's probably a box of mini chocolates. "Accolades" is probably what the rest of the Country calls Celebrations.
My Engrish are good - it's umpossible for me to fail.

Speaking of the English, what do you think of the Anderson inclusion?
I think he's a brilliant bowler, just almost never against Australia. Think our top-order would be stoked.
 
Good to see they've brought in a South Australian to address the slide of our Ashes campaign.

Dennis Lillee, 74 today.
Be a nice homage to Australia's best post-war quick for WA to win by the same figure.
I was reading Dennis' autobiography, and I liked one story he told. He was playing in a country game in WA somewhere, and his team was bowling first. It soon became obvious that the umpire wanted his 15 minutes of fame, because he repeatedly no balled the great Dennis Lillee!!! Lillee suddenly thought to himself, "I'll fix him!!!!!!"

Next delivery, he "accidentally" clipped the umpire behind the ear as his bowling arm came over. It was clearly a coincidence, but Dennis Lillee had bowled his last no ball of the day.

It has to be the oldest Test bowling line up in history - Anderson 40, Broad 38, Moeen Ali 36, Woakes 34, and Wood 33. I think the Aussie batsmen should mark the occasion by making sure that each bowler bowls at least the same number of overs as his age.

Having all those older guys is hurting them from a fielding perspective as much as anything. Anderson in particular can barely raise a gallop in the field these days. I think he will retire after the 5th test.

Starc, Hazelwood, Boland, Lyon aren't exactly young either though.

He'll be replaced on Day 4 with Damien Hardwick.
