From a mate down under...
Last week there was a bit of controversy, as the England squad sent Anderson, Broad, Finn and Swann to Brisbane to acclimatise prior to the first test, while the rest of the squad played the last warm up match in Hobart.
Well I can report the boys 'acclimatised' well. All 4 were at Friday's a big bar on the river in Brisbane City, on Friday Night. Disappointingly all were on the waters and Red Bulls. We offered Broad a Bundy Rum, but he said he doesn't drink. Swann seemed impressed with the quality of the Brisbane ladies though. Anderson came across as a stuck up knob. Anyway all engaged in some light hearted banter which was good.
