Yep, D Hussey extremelly unlucky to miss out on the Test squad. Surely he's next in line after the lot selected. Beau Casson getting picked is interesting.

Casson's performance in the Shield final would have clinched his spot.
Plus he plays for NSW ;)

Andrew Hilditch said that Dan cullen Propably would have went but was still unavailable with his finger injury. but it turns out casson leaving WA was the right decision for him

Yep, that would be it. Best part about taking Katich is he could bat in any spot if needed.

Couldn't agree more.....

DAVID HUSSEY should have been selected for the Test Squad and i am very disappointed that he wasn't.

What the hell does this guy have to do to get a Test debut?

Casson would be 4th choice spinner in that test squad after MacGill, Symonds and M Clarke. He didn't even bowl in Victoria's 1st innings in the Pura Cup final. Are there no net bowlers available in the Windies?

White would be 4th choice spinner in the one day squad after Symonds, Clarke and D Hussey. How many all rounders do you need in one team?

I'm happy to see Hilfenhaus given a shot - I'd pick him over Tait or Johnson any time.
I do agree D Hussey and Katich should be in.

I read on Baggygreen that Cam White was replacing Brad Hogg in the squad...
Does that mean he's going to bowl?
I'd rather see WATTO...
