Arthur warns Australians on size of rebuilding task Crown (above) is accommodating Shane Warne; iPhones take cover. Australia has enjoyed a glorious summer against England but with a team featuring two 36-year-olds and five others over 31, it is not necessarily the start of a golden era. That is the view of former coach Mickey Arthur, who said on Monday he was filled with joy about Australia's Ashes success, but offered a sobering reminder that the rebuilding process he tried to make a priority would have to be revisited soon. "My worry for the Australian side going forward is, yes it needs to be sustainable, but the holes we tried to fill during my time, ie the keeping role, trying to get an order in terms of who the next quick bowlers were ... that is still going to be there," Arthur said in an interview with the BBC. It's an old team now. Rogers is 36, so who is that next opening batsman? Is George Bailey good enough? Where does Watson bat? The same questions that I had during my time are still there today. Who is the next wicketkeeper? Is it Matthew Wade because Brad Haddin is 36? Ryan Harris has got probably one season left in him, Peter Siddle is now getting [close to] the wrong side of 30, Mitchell Johnson ... Australia are going to face all those same things that I went through in my time and tried to fast-track. They are going to face them in the next year or so. Arthur has been at the WACA Ground commentating for Fairfax Radio. The insertion of an iPhone into a crack on the WACA Ground pitch reminded us of the master of the pitch report, the late Tony Greig. One of the most famous of his inspections came in Perth and is recounted in the recently released family memoir, Tony Greig: Love, War and Cricket, penned by the former England captain's son, Mark. Players had used keys to test the amount of moisture in the pitch for years. If the key goes into the pitch easily, it's moist," Greig jnr writes. Dad incorporated the key into his pitch reports. On this particular day, at the WACA in 1994, dad was just about to do the pitch report when he realised he didn't have a key. Mike Procter, the former South African all-rounder, was standing nearby so dad asked him if he had a key. He did, his key from his hotel room. Dad took it and as he started to do the pitch report, the key dropped into a great crack in the wicket, and is still there to this day. Testing the WACA pitch. Shane Warne had dinner with "best friend" Michael Clarke and the Test captain's wife Kyly at Crown Perth on Sunday night and the legendary leg-spinner is not slumming it while staying there. "Went to Shane Warne's do at the Crown casino the other night where he is staying during this Test and I can confirm that they have put him up in a palace!" reported ex-England cricketer and commentator David "Bumble" Lloyd in Britain's Daily Mail. Shane is in a suite normally reserved for high-rolling gamblers who have accounts of $20 million or more! Now, I like a game of pontoon as much as the next man, but that's just a little bit out of my league. The whole thing was quite surreal. It was like a scene from that film The Stud with Joan Collins. Mind-boggling. To put it in perspective, the front door to Shane's suite was bigger than a WACA sightscreen. The stat going around about the career tallies of Clarke and Alastair Cook adding up exactly to that of Sachin Tendulkar is enough to make cricket tragics weep. Thanks to Britain's Sky Sports, we were told that Cook's 7955 runs plus Clarke's 7966 (when he was two not out in the second inning) equals the Little Master's 15,921. Cook and Clarke are also playing their 100th Tests - Tendulkar played 200 - and their century tallies (Cook has 25 and Clarke 26) - put together is a match for the recently retired Indian legend's 51. At 198 centimetres, NSW quick Josh Hazlewood is firmly in the giant territory, but he may still have some more growing to do. When Hazlewood underwent scans last month for his shin injury, they revealed growth plates in his tibia. "I haven't grown much the last two years really but the growth plates are still active," said Hazlewood, who will line up for the Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League. But the down side is that the rising 23-year-old could be susceptible to injury until his frame fills out. "It provides a weak spot at that particular time," Hazlewood said. The bones are still hardening up. Hazlewood, who has played two ODIs, said he was building to full fitness and was due to resume bowling in a Sixers practice game on Monday night.
