LOL - smashing girl for a seaside beak.
I agree with Howabout.
IMO...
- Go to work if fit for duty (including the overtime thats propping up the system), its not the travelling public's fault is it?;
- Roll on 21st December, hopefully all facilitative arrangements reset to nil (ouch);
- Let the punters fly all over Christmas and New Year;
- At the end of the holiday and festive season, stop all overtime as instructed and IF instructed by the association;
- Put the bounders to the sword in the AIRC in January;
- If no joy by February, consider joining the 35 odd recently departed and serving notice to depart overseas (remember it should be a complete and utter shambles by then and Kev will have Tony in his office to explain).
Mr Jardine has picked two spinners and two seamers on a flat road of a pitch in the hottest week of the year. I don't think Bertie Oldfield will need to bat.
