[aussies1st]

From that
Warner
Marsh
Ponting/D Hussey (if Punter rested)
D Hussey/C White
M Hussey
J Hopes
B Haddin
R Harris/B Hilfenhaus
N Hauritz
N Bracken
S Tait

I just hope the selectors don't move Hopes to opener over Warner.

 

[Twizzle]

I think they will ease Warner in, maybe let him play the second game, but who knows.

Clarkey being rested for the 20/20s.

 

[eddiesmith]

Warner, Marsh, Hussey, Hussey, White, Hopes, Haddin, Harris, Hilfenhaus, Tait, Hauritz, Bracken

Ponting in for M.Hussey for game 2, bowling attack will be changed, could be any of them missing either game, although Harris will likely play at the GABBA

 

[hineyrulz]

Good squad, hopefully Warner will get a run in one of the games, good to see Hilfy in their as well.

 

[TheParraboy]

Is Jacques playing?

 

[Twizzle]

Is Jacques playing?

not if they saw his IPL form

 

[TheParraboy]

not if they saw his IPL form

but we picked Ponting?

he was crap in the IPL

 

[wittyfan]

Warner must play!!!

 

[Red Bear]

who cares
next month is the sh*t one before thesouth african tests and then the ashes, f**king great off season of cricket this year

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

I'll be there, but I'm working. Damn.

 

[dubopov]

This is a sh*t team ..

Marsh was terrible today against Vic

 

[lockyno1]

Marsh averages 47 in ODI's and he wa snot the only one who was terrible for WA

 

[hineyrulz]

Marsh looked like he was finding some form before he got out, Dubopov would much rather a 37 yr old in a lot worse form who drops sitters.

 

[lockyno1]

Dubopov would much rather a 37 yr old in a lot worse form who drops sitters.

That says it all hiney:lol:

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Haddin is in doubt so they have brought Ronchi who is a shadow of his former self at the moment into the squad.

Paine and Crosthwaite are the most inform T20 keeper/bats this summer.

 

[lockyno1]

Paine should have been brought in

 

[Non Terminator]

After watching IPL form, I'm concerned about what Albie Morkel could potentially do.

 

[hineyrulz]

Ronchi looked in shocking form the other night, lucky to get a go imo.

 

[Twizzle]

Ronchi looked in shocking form the other night, lucky to get a go imo.

typical selectors

pick them on last years form, its only his stats that matter

pathetic
