According to Richard Boock, both Chris Cairns and Jacob Oram should be fit and firing to face the Aussies in two weeks' time.
I do still worry about Jake's bowling. By all accounts his revised action (designed to preserve his back) makes him about as lethal as a marmalade brick and, unlike Boock, I am not taking too much comfort from figures of 2-26 in an early season match against an Academy side.
Richard also tells us that Hamish Marshall is still looking in terrible nick, but nevertheless is likely to be selected to play Australia. Putting a man who can't seem to stop edging behind into bat against Glenn McGrath seems to me to be the purest of follies. Let Hamish find his feet again in domestic cricket.

The title of Boock's article made me laugh - "Oram on verge of being recalled". How can he be recalled when he was never dropped and played in the last series? He was recalled when he went on the tour of Zimbabwe.
