Australia V India

[Jimmy]

Warner
Marsh
Khwaja
Clarke
Watson
Hussey (although I would favor some new blood here)
Wade
Harris
Pattinson
Cummings
Lyon

12th siddle if Cummings isn't fit.

Young inexperienced but the new generation mostly.

[The Cadet]

E.Cowan
D.Warner
M.Klinger
M.Clarke
S.Watson
S.Marsh
M.Wade
P.Siddle
J.Pattinson
N.Lyon

[CoverKing]

My side:
Warner
Cowan
Khawaja
Marsh
Clarke
Watson
Haddin
Siddle
Pattinson
Starc
Lyon

That's the side I think should be picked

Thought about my side a bit more. I would nearly be tempted to go:

Warner
Cowan
Khawaja
Marsh
Clarke
Watson
Haddin/Wade
Butterworth
Siddle
Pattinson
Lyon

Having Butterworth as the third quick would strengthen the batting, and also strengthen the bowling some would argue. Butterworth and Watson to be 3rd and 4th quicks, plus Lyon. Think thats a handy side

[Media Park]

I have sung the praises of Butterworth previously on this site... I would do it with caution...

Who do you disagree with, that couldnt do as good a job as the spuds playing at present?

Ronnie McDonlad cleaned up Qld the other night....very under-rated alrounder.
Hodge.... deserves another crack
Forrest... having a great season
Thornley... most under rated player in the country and will shine in the Big Bash
Jacques..... ready to return to his best...Is due
Paine.... he is ready now.
Dougie...back in full fitness

Ronnie McDonlad cleaned up Qld the ohter night....very under-rated qlrounder. a couple of year ago, now christian
Hodge.... deserves another crack no he doesn't he retired from fc cricket anyway champ
Forrest... having a great season not a test cricketers arsehole.
Thornley... most under rated player in the country and will shine in the Big Bash lmfao
Jacques..... ready to return to his best...Is due about the tenth best choice in the country to open
Paine.... he is ready now. is injured

[overloaded]

Everyone is intiltled to their opinion.
Klinger, Cowan in the side is laughable. May as well have Ludeman as the keeper as well

Thornley.... why lmfoa?.... has a great first class record

[Media Park]

Thornley.... why lmfoa?.... has a great first class record

Unlike Hodgey, who still plays limited overs, Thornley is finished altogether...

Great cricket fan you are...

[Johno6]

I didn't think mp would bite so easily. But he does
Shootin fish in a barrel

[Phantom Gossiper]

Jaques
Hodgetoo old and only plays limited overs stuff these days.
ForrestIs that a joke?
Watson
Clarke (c)
Thornley too old and has really slipped away in recent times, handy 1st class player, doubt he could play tests
A McDonaldnever again
Paine
Hauritz been there, done that. Lyon is doing a superb job at the moment why change it?
Cummins if fit / Pattinson
Bollinger Injured isnt he? And surely he would need to come back through the state system, with Pattinson and Cummins having such great starts, going to be hard to see him push back in the team i think

12th Hussey/Siddle depending on conditionsId pick Siddle every day of the week, love his attitude and work ethic and i think his efforts are sometimes not given the credit they deserve.

[Dutchy]

Hodge did his hammy today anyway and is out for a month

[brod]

Depending on some players being fit, the side I would like to see in Melbourne is...

Warner
Khwaja
Marsh
Clarke
Watson
Christian
Wade
Pattinson
Harris
Cummins
Lyon

Wont happen, Dizzy can't be 10th and 12th, the ICC wont allow it, I'd be tempted to put Jeff Thompson in instead.

[Johno6]

haha shit sorry, meant hussey (in form)

[Lightning McQueen]

Just read that Hughes has already been omitted for Melbourne.
