Simon Katich is an awesome player, England should get him. What's more he is used to betraying his home.
In return we will take a 'dud' called Andrew Flintoff. When he isn't playing for Australia he can represent WA:D
Fair deal?

They are the Geelong of world cricket.
Win when they are underdogs, lose when they are expected to blitz the opposition.

Come On
Getting Katich is a good idea
You need a bloke with his prodigous batting strike rate
NO NOT KATO,
He was rubbish for Hampshire

No Katich is the way to go for England
He is used to betraying his home, he won't think twice about leaving a team not talented enough for him
WA and Australia can get Freddie in return
Sounds very unfair for Australia

see if we can off load brett lee and pup as well.
batting average of 35 is crap by australian standards...would be the second best batsman for england tho...

We'll take Andy Flower in the team for G.Jones, add Hodgey in the side in place of Cook, bring back Vaughan for Colly, if S.Jones doesnt get fit in time i am sure the Freak would be a great addition to the test side :)
Adds about 200 runs an innings there which is more than enough to take care of the Aussies and with the Freak bowling, we will be unstoppable

Introducing the Commonwealth XI.....maybe you could add Davidson as well, so the Canucks don't feel left out.....

Personally always believed in a draft like system to help struggling nations, no reason England shouldnt be able to pick these blokes who spend more time in England than their home country yet cant get a test for their home country due to politics

Hodge and Harvey aren't picked because of politics- it is because they are not good enough

point about harvey correct, but hodge is definately a superior player to katich and pup. How those two monkeys continue to get tests is a complete joke.

Harvs was easily the best all rounder Australia had for the no8 spot and his bowling is well above any of his competitors yet never got much of a go
