2nd ODI - Australia v England, Hobart Jan 21 2011

[TheParraboy]

Day nighter at Bellerive Oval this friday

Hopefully we go 2-0 up

The squad named for this game will be the one named for the World cup so we will most likely play our full strength team for the World cup in this one.

Guessing Siddle for Bollinger, Tait in for someone and Hauritz for Doherty. If not this match then definitely somewhere along the line.

 

[beads6]

I'd rather give Dougie more time than bring in Siddle or Tait TBH. Bollinger at his best is much better than Tait or Siddle. Hauritz is a must for Doherty IMO. Imagine our batting lineup with Lee, Johnson and Haurits as the tail..

 

[aussies1st]

That would be ideal but knowing our selectors thats the way they will go.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Friday is ages away.

What is with the scheduling?

Bring Back WSC!

 

[Collingwood Storm]

I think the squad for the remainder of the series will be the 15 man WC squad, minus Ponting of course.

 

[Mr Angry]

Yaaawwwnnn, not a test, so no test real test of a cricket player.

Not a real limited overs game where ever ball counts...just a nothing game these days....RIP

I fall asleep after after 5 overs. It ain't a test.

I am hearing Mussey is out so I expect Ferguson to come in for him but it wouldn't surprise me to see Paine come in for him.

 

[Matt23]

Paine in

Maybe they'll play Haddin as a batsman?

Hope not, I think Haddin should be our keeper batsmen and is the best man for the job. He had a shocker and will come back much better no doubt. I want Ferguson at 6 he is a bloody good finisher.

 

[aussies1st]

I am hearing Mussey is out so I expect Ferguson to come in for him but it wouldn't surprise me to see Paine come in for him.

That is why Ferguson should be in the WC squad, if Hussey goes down then he is the closest thing to Hussey.

 

[hineyrulz]

If Ferguson doesn't come in that will just about do me......

 

[Matt23]

They'll probably bring in Paine or some random other Tassie batsman like Bailey...should be Ferguson but knowing Hilditch & co it won't be.

 

[snoozer]

is ferguson alright after having his cheap plastic surgery the other night?

fair call but I heard he was going to be availabe for the Redbacks next Big Bash game which is this weekend I think so he should be fit

 

[TheParraboy]

If Ferguson doesn't come in that will just about do me......

The foxsports article just mentioned the WC squad is our squad for the rest of this series. So essentially our lineup is

Watson
Haddin
Clarke
White
Dussey
Smith
Hastings/Paine
Lee
Hauritz
Johnson
Bollinger/Tait

That plus Hussey and Ponting is the world cup side, but that is not the side for the remainder of the ODIs. I believe the current word is that Huss is definitely out for the next 3 and he may or may not play the last 3, because at the moment Shaun Marsh is replacing him "for the next three games of the one-day series"http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-cricket-world-cup-2011/content/current/story/497240.html
