Flem is Pigeon's bunny! Might be more lbw calls in the ODIs- but that is a crap game- can't be bothered looking it up....

So McGrath's prominent list of bunnies grows even more.
At least he doesn't hit the ball in the air against Australia.

Has mears head mended yet ?
He or Uncon or Harry Potter would be better openers than Spit , he a rabbit in the headlights at the moment
Do Mary Kate or Ashley open ?

Do Mary Kate or Ashley open ?
Yes, but they don't play cricket. ;)

You may have opened a rich seam. The Unzudders need a bit of promotion, cryptic or otherwise, but I am rather ignorant about them.
Still, here goes:
Perhaps Harry Potter is Vettori; and Spit is good.
The rest are wilder guesses.
Ashley = Astle?
Mary Kate = ?
Mears = Papps praps through context only, because Lee hit him in the head I think, but otherwise no idea. My ears are alight, as in the song? Ray, as in the English survivalist?
Uncon = ? (too many candidates for unconvincing, uncontrolled)
Then there are:
Cumming - ripe for a name. Come in spinner?
'Sweet' Lou Vincent
Oram - with his back injury
Sinclair - ?

Nice article here about how we have unsettled him:

i was referring more to the mental side of taking on the Aussies as opposition skipper

Mears = Papps
Mary Kate = Hamish Marshall
Ashley = James Marshall
Uncon = Vincent
Spit = Fleming
Harry Potter = Vettori
Orgasms = Cumming
Windscreens = O'Brien
Fleming seriously can't open... they need to move him down the order a bit... Seriously... Come on.... Give the bloke half a chance...
Mears = Papps
Mary Kate = Hamish Marshall
Ashley = James Marshall
Uncon = Vincent
Spit = Fleming
Harry Potter = Vettori
Orgasms = Cumming
Windscreens = O'Brien

I'd not heard of Mary Kate and Ashley, but I looked them up and now I know.
I'll have to learn to differentiate them somehow.
