Strange they didn't bowl Thornely earlier when you look at his figures compared to others.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

SA won by 3 wickets

not sure of the exact circumstances because the CA website isn't updating

 

[aussies1st]

Nice knocks by Klinger and Christian. We paid the price for picking too many bits and pieces bowlers.

While Simon Katich, Shane Watson and Doug Bollinger are in the Test team, I would like NSW to be using:

Phil Hughes
Phil Jaques
Usman Khawaja (David Warner in ODD/T20)
Dom Thornely
Steve Smith
Moises Henriques
Dan Smith
Beau Casson (Steve O'Keefe in ODD/T20)
Mitchell Starc
Josh Hazlewood
Burt Cockley / Mark Cameron (either is fine, to be honest)

Bracken, Clark and Lee don't have too much left to offer IMO, NSW needs to focus on their young talent in Hughes, Khawaja, Warney, Smith, Henriques, Casson, Starc, Hazlewood and Cockley. Thornely and Jaques can provide the main experience.

I don't want to see Grant Lambert or Aaron Bird playing for NSW again. Bloody average players IMO. I don't see how Ben Rohrer or Peter Forrest are much better either.
