Comeback? I'm too snowed under

IT'S nice to be in Perth for the Test match, which I think Australia will win, but it will do it without me.

I must say I was very flattered and surprised that a lot of you out there wanted me to make a comeback and play in the series.

Not sure how it all started or where it started.

Of course I would love to be out there in the thick of it, but if there was to be a comeback I'd need time to get match-fit.

My general fitness is as good as it's ever been - I have worked hard on that lately - but toiling away for long spells and backing up the next day takes time, practice, lots of physiotherapy and even more dedication.

So, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but there will be no comeback in this Ashes series.

I will continue to help the Aussie boys any way I can in their quest to reclaim the Ashes.

The way the Australian team plays this week will give us an indication of where it is really at. If the team fails here, then there will be some big changes at the end of the series, but a win could change everything.

He thinks about his game, has the ability to adapt and is a quick learner. I'm really looking forward to watching my old St Kilda teammate play for his country and I'm sure our mates at the Junction Oval will raise a glass or two to toast the new Australian spinner.
