Ashes - third test preview

Yesterday an obscure 30 year-old Australian medium pacer with a first class bowling average of over 31 received a call-up from the selectors, Brett Lee was in hospital with a drip in his arm, Glenn McGrath was limping around on crutches and Ian Chappell was calling Ricky Ponting's side "over-rated".

Today Brett Lee has been passed fit, Glenn McGrath is making a rapid recovery and Peter Roebuck is telling us that the Aussies are going to kick English butt.

Lets just hope that the preview doesn't turn out to be more entertaining than the cricket.
