Go Tassie you good thing

Paine & Faulkner save the final

Go Ricky Ponting you legend!

Queensland didn't even try to win the final in that last innings, I think they just wanted to bat the game out to look better than getting bowled out twice or something... was weird. Congrats to Tassie, Shield Champs!

Watson stepped down as Vice Captain recently and Ashes squad has been named

Ashes squad Michael Clarke (capt), Brad Haddin (vice-capt, wk), David Warner, Ed Cowan, Phillip Hughes, Shane Watson, Usman Khawaja, Chris Rogers, Matthew Wade (wk), James Faulkner, Ryan Harris, Peter Siddle, James Pattinson, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird.

There seemed to be a fair bit of negativity from the media at the press conference...I think it was wound up earlier than expected

I think the selection of Chris Rogers is really smart, he has batted at No. 3 before and would be my choice to do so in the Ashes series - particularly as it looks as though they won't play Hughes and Khawaja in the same team.

Really pleased with the bowling choices, James Faulkner adds a bit of x-factor and deserves his call-up.

Matthew Wade would be disappointed I reckon, looks as though he won't get a run during the series unless there is an injury or someone loses form.

They should have gone with him for Vice Captain, he's younger than Haddin
