No doubt he is, but we need someone who is in red ball form and ready to go, he hasn't exactly played much red ball cricket of late.


Siddle would get first call if Hazelwood Starc or Johnson is out of form .....

Bowling isn't our issue ...batting is ....

Yes Siddle would be first call but more than one injury is certainly possible if not probably given how brittle bowlers seem to be these days. And I think the only concern in our batting lineup is Watson, we have the batting to win the Ashes.

So, what's the XI? What I hope (think):

Rogers
Warner
Smith
Clarke
Voges
M Marsh (Watson)
Haddin
Johnson
Starc
Lyon
Hazlewood
 
The reason I like marsh at six

He can bat like poor man's Adam Gilchrist

He can also bat fairly normally .....he's good for a wicket or two and if there a bit in the deck he's hard to handle

Watson does not provide the same skill set

This is a no brainer decision but guess what we all know they will pick Watson and Gove the poms exactly what they want

Geez I hope they have some balls in the selection meeting
 
I hears some raspiness in that throat mil ......"sorry bow kids have been sick all week I feel like crap"

Errrrr......I won't be in tonight boss ....


Lol
How could you tell? :P yeah not feeling well at all haha

I'd be very surprised if that team didn't take the field tonight.

Can't believe it's tonight! As a Queenslander I'm obligated to keep an eye on origin tonight so that I can converse with other people for the rest of the week but the ashes is by far and away the priority

Agree on Watson definitely, some blokes get kissed on the dick with selections and then you have Brad Hodge types, strange. Harris' injury is a big blow but I don't think anyone really expected him to get through the whole series unfortunately. Hopefully Cummins won't be needed but yeah injuries to Bird and Pattinson are the issue there, Coulter Nile might have been a better option.

Who's the best Aussie quick playing county this winter, is NCN playing for anyone?

John Hastings unless you count Steve Magoffin

That is bringing back bad memories...John Hastings in a test match...oh dear oh dear!

Yeah but the poor Bushranger players always get robbed at the selection table by those biased selectors :rolleyes:

Every time I see him...I remember that Steve MacGoffin didn't play a test around the same time..
 
Only Shane Watson could survive without doing anything in the two preceding tour matches while a tour mate scores two hundreds and bowls well. Its rather infuriating.
