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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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;).
