When one sees the panel on Fox Sorts a lot of the former Test players seem like good mates. Alan Border, Mark Waugh, Greg Blewett, Brendan Julian, all seem to get on well with each other. Damian Fleming seemed to go overboard with trying to stir Mark Waugh up though. I also saw some funny banter where Peter Siddle and Mitch Marsh were taking the piss out of Darren Lehmann when he was asleep on a plane while on camera in a good natured way. However, Hogg's disclosure is a revelation. It also supports what Tassie fast bowler, Brett Geeves, a very intelligent, cheerful, witty fellow, thought about how the Australian one day team behaved towards each other when he was in it. In this state, captain George Bailey is attributed as to having developed a great camaraderie amongst Tassie players. Imported players like Mark Cosgrove and Ed Cowan have said it was so easy to be in a Shield team who are all mates and have no egos.
