ASHES SQUAD SELECTED...FEW SUPRISES

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Nathan Bracken is selected for both the test and one-day squads. McGill misses out, Katich in. Brett Lee is subject to fitness.

I am actually pleased with that, he bowled very well in the one day series in India. Hope he does well.

Prety much as I thought it would be.
Some of these players are really going to have to put their best in if they want to be selected for the Summer Series against NZ and SA.

Yep no suprises from me either. The squad looks fairly solid and should be able to stand up to the Poms and Pakistan (who are chasing former WA state coach, Daryl Foster)

i must agree with everyone and say it was pretty much as expected.

But i don't agree with Bracken in the test squad.

I would rather see Inness there.

I'm pretty happy with the squad - especially with Katich being named. I hope he's given a good chance to prove himself.
