Australia call up your mate's dad

As a result of Brett Lee's unavailability, Australia today offered a surprise call-up to your mate's dad.

Chairman of selectors, Andrew Hilditch, justified the decision saying: "Your mate's dad's been in great form of late and we wanted to go with a bit of experience. Shaun Tait's coming along well, but we feel that your mate's dad will offer greater consistency.

"He's also closer in age to the rest of the squad, which should help in the dressing room," Hilditch added.
