Team for Thursdays game v India

[Anonymous]

cha cha cha cha cha cha We love Simon Katich

I'll join that congo line :lol:

Well done Aussie selector on getting the right man in there. If only they remember the success he ha had as an opener.

Hayden has been rested due to a few niggling injuries and will not travel with the squad.

 

[Alan Shore]

So Katich will open?

Well, I guess the only alternative was Martyn :lol:

[Twizzle]

Katich has been selected to open the batting.

Thank you Twizzle, you given us the news that everbodywanted to hear :lol:

Surprised to see that Bracken has not come into the squad to rotate some of the bowlers.

HE was our best bowler in the ODIs in India.

If bowling is a problem in Thurday's game, then he should come in for someone in the next game.

Dont you mean WHEN Parra Fan??
Heres a hypothetical- What if Katich gets say 50-60 off 45balls, Martyn fails again, Lee takes 0-1 for 50+, Hayden returns for next match.........who will (not should) go and who stays for the next game???????The selectors must be feeling the heat by now on continually picking non-performers. If we have the genuine depth that is promoted, then players in form-slumps cannot be carried in the national team.

Well said VOR, how long the selectors continue to pick under-acheivers when the players next in line ARE performing is beyond me.

 

[Twizzle]

They are being patient with Lee due to his past performances.

I think he is worth persevering with, for the moment.

They have to do all they can to help him regain his old form, as he was a match winner.

They will probably rest Gillespe soon and perhaps bring in Bracken.

If Lee has not regained some form by then, he could be out.
