I'd leave Langer and Hayden opening together.

And put in Shane Bond for Brett Lee.

yeah, i thought of that but since Gibbs has had the better record recently, i left him opening.

BTW i did consider bond, but i think its a bit premature for him, i mean he's only played 10 test matches.

Test match or one dayer? great idea though.

v Ban (2002)
0

v SAF (2002/03)
39, 1, 44, 40

v NZ (2002/03)
58, 15, 32*

v WI (2003)
10, 32

yes, Lee has 36 wickets since the start of the Aussie summer in 9 tests as opposed to McGraths 27 wickets from 8 tests (8 of those wickets being since his return)
