Hopes to be sent home?

[Ogrebait]

Australia face the prospect of playing the remainder of the seven-match series against India without the services of experienced all-rounder James Hopes.

Bad luck for Hopes, a key member of Australia's ODI team. Who do you think the selector's will send the SOS out to?

Presuming they choose a like-for-like replacement, I reckon it will be either Henriques or McDonald.

 

[saj_21]

Andrew Macdonald...come on down!

 

[Spikey]

It probably should be McDonald....Welcome to the squad Henriques!

 

[Masten_Magic]

I think they should send Marcus North

 

[LukeParkerno1]

McDonald for mine, replace a like with a like please. Henriques is still a bit raw for ODI's (I would have him in the Australian T20 side though)

 

[Russian]

I reckon they'll go for a quick, probably Clark

 

[TorresIsGod]

Brad Hodge.

 

[Selective Retention]

Send Voges and Holland home with him while they are at, fair dinkum.

Losing Hopes messes the structure up a bit, Watson will break down now just wait.

 

[aussie1st]

At least Voges can bowl and field, can't say the same for Marsh.

We need to send over either a batter (Warner) or an all rounder (Mcdonald, Henriques) don't need anymore bowlers.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Why was Marsh even picked? Surely he'd be better playing domestic cricket!

 

[Blue Dimension]

I reckon they'll go for a quick, probably Clark

Unlikely imo.

Have Bollinger and Hilf on the sidelines.

I think they'll bring over an all rounder type or a batsman who can bowl part time spin.

Would love to see Henriques get a go, but I think Mcdonald will be the guy called up.

I know this is a long shot, but perhaps someone like Noffke?

Is this some sort of terrible terrible joke? the bloke is one of the most overated players to ever play for an Aus team. they clearly need a bowling all rounder, which is clearly McDonald

 

[Yoda_]

They need bowlers, Lee has a minor side strain, Johnson twisted ankle, so bowlers is it.

Will be out of S.Clark, A.Mcdonald or M.Henriques

I personaly think that it will be Henriques.

He is a big hitter, you need hitters in T20 matches.

Correct http://www.cricinfo.com/indvaus2009/content/current/story/431281.html

Good move now we got a big hitting all rounder into the side again.

 

[Spikey]

At least Henriques somewhat deserves it and has some form this time. Unlike the T20 match he got last summer.....

 

[peternorth]

are we picking players who are in form or do they still have to wait in the queue?

 

[nobbyiscool]

i love the selection of henriques... even as one of those who loathes the nsw bias, i really think he's worth a prolonged experiment... he's got enough to go a long way i reckon

 

[saj_21]

What a bullshit decision...i knew this would happen. His T20 form has been great pitty were playing ODI;s. Macdonald has the runs on the board after a great couple of domestic seasons.

Why did Cricket Australia bother seding over the Australian side...they should of left NSW behind in India and only sent over Ricky Ponting to captain them. He lives in Sydney these days may as well play for NSW!

 

[TorresIsGod]

Tim Paine to come home with a broken finger.

Odds on Daniel Smith being sent over as the replacement keeper have plummeted to $1.03

 

[Blue Dimension]

We're scraping the bottom of the barrell aren't we?

Manou will be called up, but if all else fails I'd like to see Wade given an opportunity.

 

[fraser25]

It probably should be McDonald....Welcome to the squad Henriques!

\lolol

If the Indian players and fans hate Fatty Smith as much as the Victorians seem to hate him, it couldn't possibly be a bad decision.

 

[Johnson#26]

Lee's going home now, too.

Time for Harwood or Dirk.

I am going to presume this was a joke?
