Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2008 6:35 pmClarke won't be dropped unless he has a Chappell/Tayloresque poor run with the bat. If they do bring in a new player, it wo'nt be Noffke, more likely to be another NSW player Thornely maybe .

Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2008 7:57 pmOh no doubting Clarke won't be dropped, but this is my team.
Noffke gives us an extra bowler which we need. Symonds has me now convinced he's up to standard with the bat but he'll never be a real threat with the ball. Noffke is obviously a very good bowler and he can bat.
I'd rather Watson but he's still finding his feet.

So you have dropped Pup after failing in one test? Sounds fair..
Considering he top scored in the second innings last test... You better drop Punter as well!

Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 12:47 pmClarke will not be dropped, how ridiculous! You want to drop Clarke but then you consider bringing Watson into the team?? I am glad you aren't a selector.

Clarke or Symonds, but Symonds is in better form than Clarke.
Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 1:14 pmWhy would you consider Watson? He can't bowl. Symonds is a better bowler, as is Clarke.

Drop Lee whilst we are it

Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 2:21 pmThere's a thing called team BALANCE 
Since when have the Aussies gone in with 4 quicks, 1 spinner and an all-rounder
Sorry NFC that's ridiculous

Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 3:04 pmThe side will be unchanged unless Hayden can't get back up in time.
Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 3:06 pmIf India play both spinners at the WACA they are crazy
Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 3:08 pmWhat are you on NFC, there is absolutely no reasoning behind that team selection quite simple for the third test one change, Johnson out Tait in
Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 3:53 pmIf Hayden does not come up what is the chance of Mike Hussey going back to the top of the order and David Hussey coming in to bat at 5 or 6
Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 3:56 pmThat will be an interesting selection problem, perhaps RR's mate who suceeds so well opening in Watto will come into consideration (joking of course), could think of a worse scenario or replacement than the one you have suggested
Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 6:07 pmI doubt Clarke will be dropped now NFC....
Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 6:09 pmmy question
given Symond's amd Clarke's form bowling spin, should we pick Tait at the expense of Hogg

Add anyone at the expense of Johnson and you have your team.
Re: 3rd Test Team
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2008 6:15 pmCould both Johnson and Hogg go out with Tait and Noffke in and Symonds and Clarke bowling part-time spin better than hogg can, with a team like this
Hayden
Jaques
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke
Symonds
Gilchrist
Noffke
Lee
Clark
Tait
If Hayden doesn't pull up M.Hussey to open and D.Hussey up to no.5 with Clarke at 4
