Anita Kennedy opened a savings account with Bank of America in the early 1960s as part of a school initiative designed to encourage children to save.

"I have absolutely no regrets," she said. 'It's more personable - a human answers the phone, not a computer, and they seem to be able to assist with problems.'

Despite his stellar showing at Test level, Johnson set the cat among the pigeons as he smashed Warner and selector George Bailey over plans for the 37-year-old's to have a farewell party this summer.

The 37-year-old has his sights on a farewell party at the SCG, but Johnson claims he is not deserving of one given his involvement in the 2018 sandpaper fiasco.

Although Australian selection chief George Bailey has envisioned a challenging scenario for opposition teams in which his two 'quickest bowlers', Mitchell Starc and tearaway Lance Morris, play in the same team, it will not be in Perth. Despite a heavy World Cup workload, Morris, nicknamed the 'wild stuff,' in a 14-man Test squad for the series against Pakistan, beginning on December 14, Bailey suggested the first-choice strike of Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins should be 'fit and firing'. Both Morris and Scott Boland have been inserted in the hopes of being called on, if not against Pakistan, then perhaps the two matches against the West Indies.

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 6, 2023
RICHARD GIBSON (RICHARD GIBSON): In the midst of all the rumours surrounding Steve Smith's first foray into the County Championship this week, another Australian has introduced some more subtle pre-Ashes tuning. Michael Neser was not drafted in Australia's 17-strong squad for next month's first two Tests against England, but chief selector George Bailey has advised them to be ready for the final three tests as the tourists re-evaluate their staff. It could therefore be significant that the first of the trio of matches is at Headingley, where until his dramatic appearance a few days ago, Glamorgan's Neser had never played a first-class match.
