On today’s episode you can listen to me carry on like a pork chop over the plethora of squads that Cricket Australia’s selectin panel has announced for the tour of Sri Lanka coming up in June and July. Four separate teams have been announced, including squads for all three formats of the international game, as well as an A team squad to help give some upcoming contenders a chance to show their wares. We’ll take a look at the surprise choices, the obvious losers, and whether we can work out what it shows in regards to their future selection policy. I’ll also discuss the appointment of the new England Test captain, along with the other shuffling of the deck chairs on the Titanic, and discuss if it will help as they approach that iceberg in the distance. Thanks for tuning in, and welcome back, to The Casual Mankadder, on the barest minimal podcast on the web, Thoughts From the Metal Cavern.
