Very likely. The bowling attack is much better.

 

[Matt23]

...and the batting has better form too

 

[TheParraboy]

jaques and mcgain would be in the first XI if not injured over the last 6 months

Maybe you could put in White in for McGain?

 

[saint-colesy]

Bracken isnt a test match bowler.

The current selectors are morons - siddle doesn't deserve his spot, and even though I'm a Queenslander I will be disapointed if they dont drop Hayden for the SA tour. It's like we are playing with 9 men with those two playing.

Ashley Noffke should be in the first XI, let alone the second XI.

 

[mozza91]

It's easy to say this team would win on form but International cricket is so far ahead of domestic Australia 1st 11 would win their batting is far superior

 

[Bman26]

Bracken isnt a test match bowler.

Why? he hasn't been in a test for years, he's the best one day bowler going around so give him another shot

4. North (c)
5. D Hussey
6. Watson
7. Ronchi
8. Nofke
9. McGain
10. Hilfenhaus
11. Bollinger


I reckon that side would give them a run, much more balanced attack with 5 bowlers.

That would thrash the current side

Bracken isnt a test match bowler.

Neither is Siddle, Hauritz, Krejza and to an extent Lee

Much better 2nd 11, Hussey and North can also bowl spin.

 

[skeepe]

Oh dear. You idiots really are taking Australia bashing to a whole new level. This is just really, really sad.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing the game to be honest....I think it would be a fantastic contest.

Rather than the mickey mouse T20 match before the 1st test, why not play a 4-day game which will give the test team better match practice and could start some good rivalries.
