Pie Mystery Solved...

Wickman has no idea who ate all the pies (although he suspects a couple of Wick players) but he thinks he knows who's serving them up. The Kiwis have handed the Aussies their fourth spanking in a row as they scored 91 off the last 10 overs to win in Auckland. You might argue that with Punter, Gilly and the Brummie turncoat sitting it out Australia aren't at their best - but runs didn't seem to be the problem. Hussey and Hodge would stroll into most international teams on current one-day form. No, it's the fact that the Aussie bowlers are serving up more pies than Four'N Twenty that's exciting Wickman. There's nothing like an Australian with a crick in his neck from craning to see the leather disappearing into the crowd to put a smile on Wickman's face. In fact the thought of Mick Lewis going for 10-0-113-0 against the Saffas is one of Wickman's guaranteed cures for Monday morning work inspired depression. Even the eternally gobby McGrath is going at 5+ an over at the moment. Looking to get Brett Lee fit has got to be Buchanan's top priority in the next couple of weeks. If the World Cup started tomorrow you'd have to fancy those Indians... Actually maybe Buchanan should take Lewis...
