Aussie 12 Announced for Melbourne

Got this on Baggy Green and saw it wasn't on this site yet to yeah....

Squad 1 Steve Waugh (capt), 2 Justin Langer, 3 Matthew Hayden, 4 Ricky Ponting, 5 Damien Martyn, 6 Simon Katich, 7 Adam Gilchrist (wk), 8 Andy Bichel, 9 Brett Lee, 10 Nathan Bracken, 11 Stuart MacGill, 12 Brad Williams.


Braken or Lee for 12th man? Or drop Katich and Play five bowlers? Thoughts?

Keep Katich, he adds good variety to the attack,

Bring in Bracken, we need someone who can keep it tight and once again the left armer brings some variety.

Play 4 bowlers in Melb, and as it's back-to-back test matches, I reckon the selectors will go with 5 bowlers in Sydney and drop Martyn (with Katich being used for his part time tweakers) should MacGill take another pounding.

I'd bring in Bracken for Williams in Melbourne, hopefully Dizzy will be back for Sydney.

I'd also bring in Bracken for Williams for Melbourne. Not that I'm a huge Bracken fan (however I'm willing to give him a chance), but I don't like to see an Aussie side with both Lee and Williams in.

Not that I think Lee is all that deserving himself but the golden $2 million dollar man is (when fit) a walk up start for some reason.
