3rd ODI: Australia v West Indies at Canberra Feb 6, 2013

[Earl]

They will be naming the squad for this game and the following 2 sometime today.

Shane Watson is set to return

Brad Haddin will come in for Matt Wade who is being sent to India early.

I think Ben Cutting will come inf or either Mitchell Starc or Mitchell Johnson too.

and obviously Xaiver 'Warne' Doherty will come in somewhere.

But all these changes are insignificant because The Big Show will be there

 

[snoozer]

Don't know if I can wait till Wednesday to get more of the big show.

May have to watch a replay of yesterday's scintillating performance to tide me over.

Watson returns to ODI squad..

Shane Watson has returned to Australia's one-day squad for the third and fourth matches of the series with West Indies.

Watson has recovered from a calf injury and takes the place of Usman Khawaja in the 13-man squad for the fixtures at Manuka Oval on Wednesday and the SCG on Friday.

Meanwhile, national selectors have announced the 17-man tour squad to India will travel to the sub-continent in three separate groups.

Eight players - Jackson Bird, Ed Cowan, Moises Henriques, Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, James Pattinson, Peter Siddle and Steve Smith - will travel to India on February 7.

David Warner, Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Wade will depart two days later, while the remaining six players, including captain Michael Clarke, will travel on February 11 following the conclusion of the series with West Indies.

Western Australia spinner Ashton Agar will also make the trip to India to take part in the opening warm-up fixture, but he will return in the week before the first Test in Chennai, starting February 22.

Agar is not an official playing member of the Australian tour party, but the 19-year-old is heading to India to help with the preparations to face the hosts on spinning wickets.

Finch is a far worse batsman than Khawaja and deserved the chop first.

 

[Earl]

Khawaja got the chop because he is flying to India on Thursday

So essentially we're playing with no DRS thanks to Wattawanker being back.

I see a score of 30 in his previous games, that must be it, they're taking him for his all-round potential, the Big Show will take him under his wing.

Quick, get Agar a million dollar IPL contract.

 

[8Ball]

I know this'll never happen, but our top 6 should be:

1. Watson
2. Haddin
3. Philly J
4. Clarke
5. Bailey
6. D. Hussey

 

[8Ball]

With a little more thought, our line up should be:

1. Watson
2. Haddin
3. Philly J
4. Clarke
5. Bailey
6. Wade/D. Hussey
7. X - Factor Superstar Talent Matchwinner Maxwell
8. Faulkner/Doherty ( Depending on the pitch -> Doherty down to 11 if he's in the side)
9. Starc
10. Johnson
11. Mckay

 

[Springbokfly]

Maxwell to take two wickets that get caught on the boundary and all mighty innings of 8 runs.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I think the last few Indian tours theyve taken a young 18-19 yo on tour, I remember the 2004 tour they took Tim Paine. (I think?)

 

[IanG]

Wonder how many of the players with IPL contracts have been paid.

 

[HevyDevy]

In an ideal world, our XI would be:

1. Maxwell
2. Maxwell
3. Maxwell
4. Maxwell
5. Maxwell
6. Maxwell
7. Maxwell
8. Maxwell
9. Maxwell
10. Maxwell
11. Maxwell

 

[Horrie Is God]

Needs more Rob Niney..

 

[8Ball]

In an ideal world, our XI would be:

1. Maxwell
2. Maxwell
3. Maxwell
4. Maxwell
5. Maxwell
6. Maxwell
7. Maxwell
8. Maxwell
9. Maxwell
10. Maxwell
11. Maxwell

Needs more Maxwell

Are they actually comparing Starc to Holding and Wasim?
