team selection will be interesting
Well we missed Watsons bowling big time, anything that will help him bowl more overs is a plus for the team. He's done well at 3 so opening wouldn't be that foreign to him. But Sunshine opening and Marsh at 4 is still better than what we had for this test.Hiney, as much as you will tell me otherwise what tells you Sean Marsh is an opener? He struggles in 4 day cricket opening!
We just made Bracewell look like Ambrose...needless to say India have a better bowling attack

Praveen Kumar impressed me in England (may have just been relative because of how badly all the other Indian bowlers were going after ZaK got injured), will he be around for Australia?Barring Zaheer Khan who once again is returning from injury the Indian bowling lineup is less than impressive. Beaker Sharma is fast becoming the Indian version of muhammad sarmi. The other pacemen are untested and the spin attack is young and inexperienced. It is the perfect opportunity to bring in the youngsters against a mid range bowling lineup.
Cowans what 31??? He's been average for most of his career, sure he's in a purple patch now but he'll only ever be a stop gap measure.
Cowans is 27. Could easily have 5 years until Maddinson is ready.
