Next match

[1990crow]

We've already won our first two matches and look like the best side out of the three, so who gets a game next round?

Mitch Marsh Ive been looking forward to watching.
Forrest sounds like a good prospect.
Enjoying watching Christian play so hope they retain him.
Personally I think Tom Cooper should be getting a look in. He's a better one day player than Forrest and has a very similar first class record and age. I think in three or four years time he will be in our test team so would like to see him given a shot.
My team:

Wade
Warner
Clarke
Cooper
Forrest
M.Marsh
Christian
Starc
Harris
McKay
Doherty

Just for a couple of matches. Then bring Ponting back in.

 

[PAdman]

good side but id rest warner out of that list

india wont even show up, will be over by 8pm

 

[King Elvis]

If they rest Punter for the Adelaide game I will be irate.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

If Watson really is going to be fit for later games, I can't see why they've bothered calling Mitch Marsh back to the squad. They need to give Christian more games, having him and Marsh alternating seems a bit pointless.

Besides, I want Marsh playing for WA!

 

[Underarm]

So forrest, cooper and Marsh all make Their debut in one game? Hardly likely. There Is no way they rest both husseys and punter for a whole 3 games....

Also, still need to win matches in the tri series, this misconception that we need to blood new people at an alarming rate for the future is wrong.

 

[Ravenous Crow]

My guess is Forrest will replace the rested Hussey. But IMO Christian and Marsh are both better one day bats than Forrest, so I wouldn't mind both playing in the same team. I reckon they've wasted an opportunity to give Cooper or Quiney a go.

 

[The Speaker]

They shouldn't pick Cooper unless they are absolutely sure he's going to play many games for Australia - he can't play for the Netherlands for four years after his last game for Australia, and he is one of their best batsmen.

If they rest Punter for the Adelaide game I will be irate.

If they rest Christian I will be irate.

Mike Hussey is being rested. No reason to rest Punter.

I'm pretty sure the ICC make exceptions for cases like this if it will help one of the associate nations.

The times when they make you serve the 4 years are when you want to (for example) go from South Africa to England.

Other way around.

Other way around.

Really?

I seem to remember them letting someone play for a minnow in the WC?

They let Ed Joyce play three and a half years after his last game for England. They refused Hamish Marshall the same treatment (he had to wait the full four years).

 

[Ricketts]

Even on the big picture, we're in year 1 of a 4 year world cup cycle. No problem experimenting at this stage.
