Keeping up the high standard Blakus. Hussey, solid left-hander in the middle-order, great pick.

And about 100 trillion never-selected-before-good-openers to choose from in the last round.

(Doing the post holiday washing and ironing - so this is a nice distraction)

Cevno skipped (again?) so Michael up.
I'm wondering whether the internet access in his area ia very poor - up and down like a yoyo. Surely no one can be that forgetful.

KK has also gone missing for a couple of days :down:
