A room with an Alan
Former Australia captain Allan Border has resigned as an Australian cricket selector for the second time in less than 18 months. Border, who only returned to the selection panel in June, has quit claiming he doesn't have the time to do the job.The reason for posting this little vignette?
Well apart from the fact that Wes will probably now claim that this is more evidence that the Aussies are buckling under IDLCC pressure, it also allows me to point out the following facts:
1. Alan Border used to have a moustache. Two of the other three selectors, David Boon and Merv Hughes, also famously have moustaches. Thus, until today, 75% of Australian cricket selectors have, or once had, a moustache. By coincidence, according to statistics from the Australian Government 75% of Australians (it doesn't say what proportion are male and female) have or have had moustaches; and
2. According to this website Alan Border is cockney rhyming slang for 'Out of Order', which, as someone who has lived in London all his life (albeit out in the suburbs), i have never heard anyone use.
(I'm glad to have got all that off my mind)

I can't believe they are serious about Watson...nothing i have seen suggests he is good enough to play Test cricket (watch him win man of the series now!)
