This weeks SS game v VI will be very interesting

With those players unlikley what side would you pick ?
Who will open the batting ?

MALS TEAM

WATSON
HUGHES
JAQUES
CLARKE
KHAWAJA
HADDIN
SMITH

Would that team be the strongest team at SS level in the last 20 years ?
Just imagine if the other 5 players were not injured or available .

Henriques= Batsman??
ODI's: 18 @ 9.
T20's: 1 @ 1.
1st class: 825 @ 30.55.
ODD: 615 @ 21.96.
BB: 398 @ 16.58.

Come on mal. Sorry mate, I just think he's extremely over-rated. . I see your point though, their 2nd eleven would probably knock us off, come to think of it, they did.

My side for NSW.

Hughes
Jacques
Khawaja
Clarke
Watson
Haddin
Smith
Hauritz
Clark
Copeland
Bollinger

12th: Cameron

Copeland ahead of Cameron coming off a bag? Not so sure about that. Looks crap without the Kat.

If Katich was available, who do you leave out of the above side? Smith, Hauritz or Jacques. Amazing side really.

Is the Kat available, if so it's bye bye to Phil Jacques IMO. Copeland has simply been amazing since he has come on the scene! It's a bloody hard choice that's for sure?

Do you think they need 4 pacemen and 3 spinners?

Correction, 4 spinners aswell.

3 quicks and a spinner, plus 2 batting allrounders in that side! Clarke and Katich wouldn't bowl! So yeah that's the side I would go with

Smartarse to thread. Smartarse to thread...

The answer is no. NSW do not have problems...

You got a few bites there Mal!

Any team that has hauritz in it has got problems. Would think he would be lucky to be 3rd best spinner in nsw team and about 6th in australia

I think their full strength side in the early/mid 90's was stronger with Taylor, Slater, Waugh x 2, Bayliss, Bevan, McGrath, MacGill etc etc.

My SS XI
Hughes
Watson
Katich
Clarke
Khawaja
S.Smith
Haddin
Hauritz
Clark
Cameron
Bollinger

extremely unlucky: Jaques, Rohrer, O'Keefe, Copeland

Pretty handy 2nd XI too
Jaques
Warner
Rohrer
Forrest
Maddinson
Henriques
D.Smith/Nevill
O'Keefe
Starc
Coyte
Copeland

Injured: Bracken, Cockley, Lee? Hazelwood? Casson?

NSW have named thier squad
BOLLINGER still injured and wont take part
I have taken the liberty of naming a possible batting order

WATSON
HUGHES
JAQUES
CLARKE
KHAWAJA
HADDIN
SMITH
HAURITZ
STARC
CLARK
COPELAND

12TH MAN CAMERON

KATICH and BOLLLINGER are likely inclusions for the next match vrs TA
BOLLINGER would replace either CAMERON or COPELAND
KATICH would replace ????? JAQUES ???
No spot for WARNER

CAPTAIN
Stuart CLARKE and not Michael CLARK for this game
One ponders who would captain if KATICH was playing

Would that team be the strongest team at SS level in the last 20 years ?

I would rather this one.

M.Taylor
M.Slater
S.Waugh
M.Waugh
M.Bevan
S.Lee
B.Haddin
B.Lee
S.Macgill
S.Clark
G.McGrath

Yep, we have problems. We can't get Hussey out!

Watto dropped him off Starc when on about 70. A very tough chance though.

Did that team ever play together?
Shane Lee aside, that's a more than handy Test XI.

Yeah I think it would of at some stage
