Oh, this again. Bit tedious. Keep the dust, all we want is the trophy. The dust held at Lords is a good reminder on why its there in the first place, so best you keep that.

Question is keep the same team and go for 5-0, or rest a few up and blood a few newbies? Hope we don't lose the toss again. :wink:ozzie owl wrote:Off to the MCG for Day One and Two of Boxing Day Test cant wait.Bomber wrote:Oh, this again. Bit tedious.
