South African touring squad for Feb/Mar 2014 3 test series?

[BunniesMan]

Warner
Rogers (who else is there?)
Watson
Clarke
Smith
Lynn
Bailey
Haddin
Johnson
Harris
Siddle
Lyon
Pattinson
Bird
Paine
Doolan

Cutting or coulter nile if pattinson isnt ready

So someone averaging 38 this season should be picked ahead of someone averaging 60. Cool.

Fill Hues has to be in the touring squad for mine as back up batsman, in the side for the 2nd or 3rd tests over there is Rogers fails

Doolan>>>>>>>>>>>> Norman Gunston.

 

[Helmet Man]

Send over the NSW 2nd XI team to versue South Africa. SA don't deserve to versue our national team for being such cowards.

Prefer him to not miss any shield games

If Lynn keeps scoring runs consistently he has to be on the plane to South Africa as a back-up bastsmen, he's averaging something like 60+ in FC this year, as well as scoring plenty of runs in One Dayers and T20's.

 

[BunniesMan]

Lynn would be in my squad as the #1 backup batsman.

 

[Horrie Is God]

I reckon the only formline we can take from the Big Beat Off is 20/20 form..

 

[Helmet Man]

If Bailey doesn't get going in tests then i'd put Lynn next in line to have a crack at #6.

 

[Y2Eel]

1-Rogers
2-Warner
3-Watson
4-Clarke*
5-Smith
6-Bailey
7-Haddin+
8-Johnson
9-Harris
10-Siddle
11-Lyon

12-Doolan
13-Pattinson
14-Faulkner
15-Paine

Why does this guy keep getting brought up?? Gav Robertson loves the bloke...

given up on Fill Hues?

 

[BunniesMan]

given up on Fill Hues?

No. "Fill Hues" would be opening the batting. And if Bailey doesn't score runs in Melbourne and Sydney I'd have Lynn replacing him too.

 

[lockyno1]

WilliamGilbertGrace should be NOWHERE near the side. Not against South Africa with a barrage of quicks! He'll make Duminy look like Warne too!

Lynn would be a decent option, still I would probably go with someone with more potential. Just seems like a Martin Love "ok but not outstanding batsman". I would punt on Joe Burns, or Jordan Silk, with some thought to Callum Ferguson/Nic Maddinson/Marcus North

 

[unbreaK]

Out of that squad I think my line-up would be..

1 - Warner
2 - Rogers
3 - Doolan
4 - Clarke
5 - Smith
6 - Watson
7 - Haddin
8 - Johnson
9 - Siddle
10 - Harris
11 - Lyon
12 - Marsh

Very tempting to have Bird in for Siddle, but after the summer we just had we can't change our bowling attack.

Faulkner out.

Henriques in.

 

[TheParraboy]

Clearly Faulkner should have been rested from a couple of tests over the summer :sarcasm:

Clearly it's the fault of the IPL.

Or the Big Bash League.

Etc.

What's Henriques done to deserve selection?
He is so rubbish he even managed to get a pair a few weeks ago against Perth...

 

[Twizzle]

you need to understand how the selectors work

they have this pecking order on which Henriques rates highly as an all rounder as he has played before

nothing to do with current form

About as much as Darsh did.
