Official Touring Squad for INDIA announced

[caylo]

k

You think X is a good spinner , seriously ?!

The guy averages 45 with a strike rate of 84 in FC cricket. I'm not sure that even puts him in the mediocre category.

Ok I meant he is a spinner with good control etc. He is a good one day bowler who can do a job and may be effective in India which is great compared to playing maxwell.

I would love for them to play okeefe, I think he is the best fc spinner but I have no faith in the selectors.

 

[Timbo]

Apparently there wasn't even a selector at the Shield game at Blacktown.

SOK could have taken 15 wickets and scored a ton and it wouldn't have mattered.

 

[unbreaK]

According to Watson he belives the best All-Rounder to take to India is Henriques, uhhhhh. He also seems pretty confident that he'll be chosen as a batsmen, so I think it's safe to say Khawaja won't get a run.

My predicted starting 12:

1) Warner
2) Cowan
3) Hughes
4) Clarke
5) Watson
6) Wade
7) Henriques
8) Siddle
9) Starc
10) Pattinson
11) Lyon

~~

What I'd like to see:

1) Warner
2) Watson
3) Hughes
4) Clarke
5) Khawaja
6) Wade
7) O'Keefe
8) Siddle
9) Starc
10) Pattinson
11) Lyon

Australia doesn't have the batting strength to play Matt Wade at 6. Especially in India.

I like both sides but in India you don't need 3 pace bowlers and a pace all rounder. Play okeefe and henriques with two pace bowlers and Lyon. That way you bat to #8 and have 5 genuine bowling options but that risks two debut player in India.

 

[hineyrulz]

Who is Watson to be opening his useless mouth, as far as i'm concerned if he doesn't bowl he should be in the Australian side.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If Wade bats at 6 then we might as well hand the ashes to England now.

 

[Hallatia]

they already have them

 

[BunniesMan]

What should be our first choice attack in India:

Pattinson
Siddle
Lyon
SOK/Doherty

We don't need more than 2 quicks and those should be Siddle and the best quick in Australia, Pattinson.

 

[Timbo]

Side I think should play based on fitness:

1-Cowan
2-Warner
3-Hughes
4-Clarke*
5-Khawaja
6-Haddin+
7-Henriques
8-O'Keefe
9-Starc
10-Siddle
11-Lyon

What I'm quite certain we'll see:

1-Watson
2-Warner
3-Hughes
4-Clarke
5-Khawaja
6-Wade+
7-Maxwell
8-Siddle
9-Pattinson
10-Lyon
11-Bird

 

[Timbo]

http://m.espncricinfo.com/s/showPag...emTitle=Maxwell's bowling 'better and better'

This stuff is getting comical.

You get to a point where you really do realise that the selectors honestly don't really have much a clue what they're doing.

 

[hineyrulz]

I give up i truly do, is Arthurs a plant???? Because that was the biggest load of horseshit i have ever heard. The Numpty hasn't played a Sheild game in two months but he bowled 2 overs in Hobart and his form in the nets has been outstanding :crazy:

 

[Timbo]

At least the article mentions O'Keefe is a solid chance.

I'm still expecting Maxwell's net form and 0 career ODI wickets to get him on the tour, as well as Xavier Doherty.

I mean really I honestly think a selection panel of Me, Hala, Twizzle, Hiny and IanG would do a better job. Really.

 

[TheParraboy]

Who is Watson to be opening his useless mouth, as far as i'm concerned if he doesn't bowl he should be in the Australian side.

:shock:

 

[Twizzle]

Wade is barely a 7 he is not a 6

and we should have Watson or Henriques, not both and Oozie at 5

its not rocket surgery

 

[BunniesMan]

Warner
Watson
Hughes
Clarke
Khawaja
Henriques
Haddin
SOK
Siddle
Pattinson
Lyon

There's an XI that could win tests in India.

 

[RHCP]

If Watson isn't going to be bowling, he shouldn't be coming close to the side. All this nonsense that 'he averages more at this number, maybe he'll score runs there' is f**king dumb. No sense forcing Cowan out to accomodate precious Watto.

'Australia's Next Top Spinner' is becoming comical. I can't believe Zampa even got tossed aroud after his first Big Bash game.

 

[HevyDevy]

Warner
Watson
Hughes
Clarke
Khawaja
Henriques
Haddin
SOK
Siddle
Pattinson
Siddle

There's an XI that could win tests in India.

Any side with two Peter Siddle's is going to be competitive ...

 

[TheParraboy]

Warner
Watson
Hughes
Clarke
Khawaja
Henriques
Haddin
SOK
Siddle
Pattinson
Siddle

Siddle the magnificent

 

[herbert henry1908]

Wade is barely a 7 he is not a 6

and we should have Watson or Henriques, not both and Oozie at 5

its not rocket surgery

I presume you mean he's not a 7 in terms of his keeping. Haddin should be brought back for these 3 big series.

But wades batting is pretty good from what I've seen.

I think you could make an argurment he's better than Cowan.
