Cricket NSW selectors have named a strong squad of twelve to face Tasmania in the Weet-Bix Sheffield Shield match at the Sydney Cricket Ground starting at 11am tomorrow.
The RTA SpeedBlitz Blues have named seven Australian representatives in a well balanced squad.
Pace bowler Josh Hazlewood comes into the twelve and will be in line to make his Weet-Bix Sheffield Shield debut. He made his domestic one-day debut in yesterday's loss to Tasmania at North Sydney Oval, and has played a First-class match for NSW against New Zealand.
The full squad of twelve is:
Simon Katich (c)
Doug Bollinger
Burt Cockley
Michael Clarke
Stuart Clark
Phillip Hughes
Brad Haddin
Phil Jaques
Usman Khawaja
Josh Hazlewood
Steven Smith
Stephen O'Keefe
12th man to be named on the morning of the match.

Brett Lee was not considered for the match after suffering a reaction to his elbow injury.

Poor Starc, he had a chance to get his name out there until injury struck. Casson has fallen out of favour already.

I think Smith's form would have edged Casson out anyway

I really dont like O'Keefe, he bowls pretty flat like Clarke, no flight at all, unless he was just bowling darts in the one dayer yesterday but doesn't strike me as a strike 4 day bowler

I reckon Lee could just about kiss his test match chances good bye, unless we get an injury

Its a toss up between Cockley and Clark, he really looked pedestrian yesterday and on current form I'd probably go with Cockley as he is more a a strike bowler than a containing bowler which is what you want in a 4 dayer.

Clark's day really seem numbered if all he is going to bowl is 110-120 ks

Hughes really needed a big innings to impress to be any chance of selection in the first test but looks like he's blown it. He might score heavily in the second but if he does i don't think one decent innings is enough to warrant a spot, especially given he hardly scored in the first shield game. Looks like he'll just have to bide his time and wait for whoever they go with to open to fail. He still has to make runs though.
