Australia's ODI Squad Announced

[Doctor]

No real surprises - Australia names a fairly predictable squad to play Sri Lanka in some One Dayers this month.

Martyn still there as expected, Hogg remains there as does Harvey, thanks to a couple of wickets recently.

Bichel is clearly now on the outer, missing out in favour of Michael Kasprowicz who looks to have taken his spot long-term - or at least until McGrath and Warne come back into contention.

The news:

Yeah I think thats a good sqaud, no suprises really, Haddin was always gonna be the backup keeper to Gilchrist. Good to see Katich in there, I thought he did well yesterday as a one day player.

As for the bowlers I think Lee, Dizzy, Kasper and Willow will clean em up, easy.

Bichel is clearly now on the outer, missing out in favour of Michael Kasprowicz who looks to have taken his spot long-term - or at least until McGrath and Warne come back into contention.

Kasprowicz is only there as back up due to the fact that either

a) he bowls well on the sub continent
b) McGrath did not play in the NSW Second XI
c) Hohns, Border and Boon do not see the necessity to blood a player like Tait, Rofe, Cleary or Wright and continue our success as a OD power.

No real surprises at all. Lets hope we can play as well as we did last night then 8)

Predictable but fair.

Hope McGrath and Warnie, are OK for the test series.

After Warne finishes playing for Victoria 2nd's he'll most likely join the Aussies and replace Hogg

No suprises at all, maybe this signals the end for Bichel?

Looks good, I'd still like to see bichel there, but you cant have ur way all the time i guess..

How long till bevan is ready to play? Or is he ready now?

Btw.. Can't wait to see warnie back..

 

[aqua_duck]

Would've liked to have seen Bracken in there after what he did on the subcontinental pitches in the TVS cup but I guess he's going to have to work his way back in.
