Pick your second XI

[bloods08]

Hughes
Jaques (just from Marsh)
Klinger (vc)
Ferguson
Khawaja
White (c)
Paine
Harris
Doherty
Siddle
George

12th: Starc/McKay

Bollinger if fit is without doubt in our best test side which drops Siddle out.

[Lightning McQueen]

I think klinger has dropped out of contention in the longer version game this season.

[Killa]

Team for the tour game is:
Cam White (Captain) VIC 27

Tim Paine (Vice-Captain) TAS 25

Mark Cameron NSW 29

Callum Ferguson SA 25

Peter George SA 24

Phil Hughes NSW 21

Usman Khawaja NSW 23

Shaun Marsh** WA 27 (Subjected to fitness)

Steve OKeefe NSW 25

Steve Smith NSW 21

Mitchell Starc NSW 20

[Lightning McQueen]

When and where's the game?

[CoverKing]

Would love to see the Ferg, khawaja and white all make tons! Put the pressure on the selectors big time!

[Lightning McQueen]

I'm quite impressed with that line-up, no charity positions there, could well be a starting eleven in 2014.

[Hondo]

There's no-one over 30 in that line up

This is good!

If we use that as our basis for the first XI - Now go and select your second XI, might not be a very strong side at the moment.

Only thing is, Bolly should be in the First XI, but like you said, yours is just the basis...

I think we either play four quicks, or we need two spinners, as we don't have a single spinner playing FC cricket that can do the job on their own in a Test, hence Smith and Doherty- and Smith brings (hopefully) some runs to the table.

Jacques and Hughes are simply our two "next best openers" and Liam Davis I think will be the next bolter.

Khawaja and Ferg are easily the best two middle order players on the FC scene, and take 3 and 4.

I have a hard on for White, and TPain is our number two keep...

George deserves another immediate chance, and I think a lot of people forget about Ryan Harris...
