Thought maybe we could start a thread to discuss both teams for the next test, realistic ones not dream teams
Australia should really look at dropping Katich
Australia v West Indies - 3 Tests
Match Referee: Umpires
1st Test Mike Procter Ian Howell and Rudi Koertzen
2nd Test Mike Procter Aleem Dar and Rudi Koertzen
3rd Test Mike Procter Aleem Dar and Billy Bowden
As Aleem Dar is back :D
Thank god that fat ******** South African is gone
I guess the Windies will welcome back Hinds, not sure which batsman will make way
Aussies likely to lose Watson and gain Langer to replace Hussey, match is at Bellerive so really cant see the benefit of 2 spinners so the Aussies will probably look at replacing Watson with a batsman
Australia:
Langer
Hayden
Ponting
Clarke
Katich
Hodge
Gilchrist
Warne
Lee
Bracken
McGrath
the kat has to go soon too, but you don't wanna make too many changes to a side which has just handed out a belting... watson should be out injured or not, but if he comes up then i'm pretty sure they will play him and hodge will miss out... ponting is so far up watsons pooper, they're going to give him every oppertunity...

Just 1 change, Hodge to 4, Clarke and Katich down 1 spot each

Either Martyn/Hussey/Hodge to replace Watson.

Bravo to replace one of the quicks?
Langer
Hayden
Ponting
Clarke
Katich
Hussey
Gilly
Lee
Warne
Bracken
McGrath
-hussey looked a little troubled at the top of the order but deserves another chance to come in at six. Hodge has been in terrible form of late that really doesnt warrant test selection. Katich will go if he fails again but they will give him another go because of the spanking we gave them.
Langer
Hayden
Ponting
M Hussey
Clarke
Katich/Symonds
Gilchrist
Warne
Lee
Bracken
McGrath.

You'd think so - he should be able to give the feeble looking lower order a bit of a boost at least. Poor Samuels would have someone to work with at least...

2. Matthew Hayden
3. Ricky Ponting
4. Michael Clarke
5. Brad Hodge
6. Simon Katich/Michael Hussey (Preferrably Huss)
7. Adam Gilchrist
8. Shane Warne
9. Brett Lee
10. Nathan Bracken
11. Glenn McGrath

Hussey, Symonds or Hodge to replace Watson will be the only change for Australia. As much as it pains me to say it Katich will be retained until the end of the 2nd or 3rd test. I'd pick Symonds, made 160 odd today, the person who is MOST in form out of the 3.

2.Hayden
3.Ponting

I guess the Windies will welcome back Hinds, not sure which batsman will make waySmith was the only one to make any runs and they won't drop the 4 big names, that leaves Samuels. Bravo probably in for Lawson
