I'd be surprised if there were any bowling bolters named.
Johnson, Hilfenhaus, Bollinger, Hauritz, Siddle, Harris. (+Smith)
Even with the extended squad it's hard to see them going beyond those.

No real surprises, great to see Khawaja named

Hilditch hinted that Doherty may get the call up ahead of Hauritz.
Attacking move if true. And I like it.

No Hughes, suggests Katich is alright.
Khawaja and Ferguson, it suggests a four way duel for the final middle order spots providing Clarke is fit between the aforementioned two, Hussey and North.
If the younger lads make good runs, and the other two fail, it'll be lineball who gets a gig.
Doherty's selection, kneejerk arguably, suggests they aren't at all convinced with Hauritz. Smith's a smokey on a Gabba deck that suits the quicks so much, and Harris' home deck, Hauritz could be squeezed out.
And finally, with the quicks they've named, it seems very even, five into three or four spots, and you can make a case for all of them.
The long and the short, this week's Shield games actually look to be decisive: North and Hussey have their spots to lose, but the upcoming game might just be enough to make the weight swing enough to, well, swing the axe, and the fast bowling makeup is very up in the air.

I was wrong, Doherty 
Pretty good squad if North, Hussey, Siddle, Smith, and two of Hauritz/Doherty/Harris are the ones to miss

Tas play NSW at the SCG so maybe it will be a match race for the spinners spot.

Doherty is a horrible choice, selectors really have no idea.

Damn Tasmanian bias! 
Seriously though, what has Doherty done? SOK should be fuming, especially after being selected for Aus A. It's not like Doherty's figures of 2/105 in his last Shield match were breathtaking.
Interesting no Hughes, guess that means Katich is good to go, or they see Khawaja as a poential opener.
And the selection of Doherty means they probably see Smith as a batsman first and foremost. If so, that's a very good thing.

Agreed, at least smith is a more than capable batsmen who has penty of time to improve his bowling, surely smith, clarke, katich can bowl enough between them.

His form suggests he should be nowhere near the Test side
OD side certainly, Test side no ****ing way.
