da stake casino： The preparation for the Test here in Leeds has gone very smoothly
Jason Gillespie16-Aug-2001The preparation for the Test here in Leeds has gone very smoothly. It isgreat news for Simon Katich that he will make his Test debut. He will bepresented with his baggy green cap before the start of play.It is a huge moment for Simon and all the lads as well. To see a new player join the Test-playing ranks is exciting and I am sure there will be a few butterflies in Kato’s stomach before the start of play.Again, it is an important Test for Australia. We believe we have a lot toplay for and still have plenty to prove. Obviously, 5-0 would be an amazingachievement for us (if we can get through this game with a win). Also, we want to show that even though we do not have our captain, Steve Waugh, with us for this game, we can still come out on top so there is huge incentive for us.I also know that all the lads want to make this as memorable a Test Matchfor Kato as possible as it is his first.Tugga’s (Steve Waugh) injury to his calf is coming along really well although he says the pain he sometimes feels when our legendary physio, Errol Alcott, gets stuck right in to muscles with all his treatment procedures, is excruciating! He is walking quite freely now and even had a light hit in the nets yesterday.We know that England are going to come hard at us this game so we have tobe right on our toes and be disciplined in all facets of our game if we aregoing to come out on top and gain our fourth Test win in a row.
