When Symonds returns

[FRUMPY]

When Symonds returns to the side is it definetly going to be hodge who gets dropped for him?

Side before his Return: Gilly, Hayden, Punter, Clarke, Hodgey, Hussey, Watson, Hogg, Bracken, Tait, McGrath. (or whichever 3 fast bowlers)

Side after his return: Gilly, Hayden, Punter, Clarke, Symonds, Hussey, Watson, Hogg, Bracken, Tait, McGrath. (or whichever 3 fast bowlers)

Personally, i would like them to play 7 batsmen, watson and three fast bowlers. The remaining ten overs to be bowled by a combination of Clarke, Hodge and Symonds.

yup, Hodge will get dropped, no matter how many runs he makes

Wont happen.

Has to be Hodge really, there is no one else.

Drop Watson

Drop Hodge

For goodness sake, boy, Watson has found his niche again. He's working well as an opener alongside Gilchrist.
Not to mention he is a good fourth seamer.

I don't mind the idea of playing Watson at #8 as a bowling allrounder. But he just hasn't bowled well enough lately for us to risk that.

If he bowls well early plus Hodge makes lots of runs - this might be an option.

Drop Watson

wont happen he is cricket australia's love child and hodge is a victorian so hodge will get dropped

We need to play 4 quicks. 20 overs of Watson, Symonds, hogg and Clarke will be the end of us. Its more the 10 from Watson that worries me. The only way Watsond get a game is if they drop Gilly down the order and im not even convinced thats a good idea.
