Smith will be 3 and Voges 5. Comes down to Khawaja vs. Bancroft vs. Burns for the two opening spots and probably Khawaja vs. Shaun Marsh for number 4.

Siddle and Starc will play, with Lyon. I suspect Maxwell at 6 and probably a 3rd quick. Could just pick O'Keefe there though, particularly if they go with Mitch Marsh

Who the f**k is Andrew f**ktee????

 

[Red Bear]

Plays for Tassie. 37 wckets @ 24 last season. Already 30 and not played 20 f/c games, so unsure if late bloomer or just not that great. Haven't seen him bowl

formidable

 

[Mr Spock!]

Interesting pace attack.

The Bangers have a show at winning this.

They might even start favourites.

Sounds like a plodder who was made to look much better than he is from seaming wickets down in Tassie.

 

[Pennies]

Yawn. Boring series coming up.

 

[Timbo]

Definitely going to play two spinners. My concern is the second spinner will be Maxderp and not SOK.

 

[Twizzle]

Fekete is 30, I would have preferred Pattinson instead of Fekete.

Surely they must realize by now that the Toyman is not a test player. His straight breaks will be run fodder over there.

Hardly was a seaming paradise in Tassie last year!

I just noticed Shaun Marsh is still there, seriously? :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's like us with Hamish Rutherford, except we are NZ, this is the Australian cricket team

He's going to bat #3 or #4 - you know it - will get runs at some stage, and you'll be stuck with him - oh, it's beautiful

You know he reminds me of Hamish Marshall from you guys..flukes his way to a ton, then does SFA. Luckily he is injured enough so that we don't have to cop Darsh in the side that much...and what is worse is watch Marsh open lol

Hope O'Keefe gets another shot, has the best bowling average for a spinner in Australia (I think) and has little to show for it.

Far from convinced and personally I would have taken Agar. Not sure why Toyman is there!:lol:

 

[TheParraboy]

With Clarke out the way, we might see SOK get some consistent test series under his belt

Will replace Lyon during our summer

 

[Twizzle]

hope you're right

 

[Sanchez]

a 30 yo paceman with 17 first class games, wtf
Had no choice but to keep Voges even though he should never have been picked in the first place. Team looks stuffed in the short term having to keep driftwood like Voges and Marsh and 30 yo rookies like Fekete and OKeefe and joke players like Maxwell which only shifts the problem down the line

Wasn't Clarke in the way of SOK.
