Australia squad to tour Sri Lanka.

I've been so caught up with FTP lately i was looking for the weather and the pitch conditions on the main page. Looks like the Aussies will have a tough total to chase down.

Sam: "Doug Bollinger. The Man with an under 30 average in Tests, ODI, First Class, List A and Twenty20 cricket. Yet all he is playing this tour is 5 one day matches.... Go figure."

Just a bit of the commentary which makes total sense. Clearly a guy that with experience will destroy line-ups. Way better than Johnson.

Australia will have a target of 287 to chase.

I am disappointed in cricinfo for not creating a fantasy game for the tour. Says it has one for every major tour. Is this not a major tour?

[Master Q]

By major they might mean England, India, South Africa etc...

How is Sri Lanka vs Australia not a major tour though? I understand Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh.
Also it's a 5 ODI, 3 test series. I've played fantasy with lesser quality teams (NZ, WI) so it's puzzling. Anyway, just have to wait until Australia vs India.

Shaun Marsh has stuffed up any chance he had to open the batting with Watson with 12.

Khawaja 101 is good to see! I would put him first drop ahead of Ponting any day.
