surely Dan Christian is a better allrounder than Henriques or Maxwell, also whats the point of having Khawaja around and then playing Maxwell.
Khawaja ain't in the squad.

Christian is a spud, although Henriques and Maxwell aren't much better. Would rather Steve Smith tbh.

They are all spuds, especially Smith. If we don't have an allrounder, why play one? Play 5 bowlers or 4 and get 10 overs out of tweekers like Warner, D.Hussey and Clarke etc.

Agreed that they are all not international standard, but Smith is the best of a bad bunch.

Dave Hussey has been spudding it up for years, only continues to get selected because of his last name.

Sorry my bad on Khawaja.

Christian might be a spud but better then Henriques surely ! Smith might be a better batsman but bowling is cannon fodder really

SO what is our target here, with two established at the crease and only 3 wickets in hand ??? Is 250 a chance ???
Would have to be thinking around that you'd imagine, anything more is a bonus, unfortunately, I think 250 is probably only a par score.
