Australia's Frank Worrell Trophy/Ashes squad-

Michael Clarke (c), Steve Smith (vc), Fawad Ahmed, Brad Haddin, Ryan Harris (Ashes only), Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Peter Nevill, Chris Rogers, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Adam Voges, David Warner, Shane Watson

Nevill moves ahead of Wade in the pecking order then.

Interesting, Nevill is 29 and Wade is 27.

[Stumps]

one can catch the other cant probably the selectors thinking

Ones a keeper, ones a backstop!
About time he got a crack, my one man bangwagon must have got him over the line lol

[mighty_tiger_79]

an absolute shocking decision

[Aerie]

Good squads. Ahmed provides a different option. Neville the perfect age to take over. Voges averaging over 100. All picked on form and previous squad members have runs/wins on the board. Bring on the Ashes. Hopefully against Trott and Pietersen.

Edit: I would have had Joe Burns instead of Sean Marsh (or Mitch Marsh).

[the joker]

Ferg couldn't make the Aust A 5 day side. He is pretty unlucky. Especially when khuwaja is named captain when he didn't play a shield game this year.
Gotta think his chance of playing test cricket maybe gone. He may have to leave the SACA to Give himself a shot

Rogers? Surely time to give someone else a crack at the top.

[RB]

IMO you 'give someone a crack' against Bangladesh, not in the bloody Ashes. I would definitely play Rogers in the first test.

Like him or not, he's doing his job.

I'd sooner see someone else there but he's not really failing.

[Dogwatcher]

We don't play Bangladesh, or New Zealand, or Sri Lanka to give "someone a crack", in the first place.

[Bombers4EVA]

Peter Siddle"" Really? I believe his best is well and truly behind him. Think Cummins could be a better option than him.

[RB]

We're playing tests against Bangladesh in October and against NZ in November-December. It's true that we don't play them very often but surely you don't drop a player who's been performing (e.g. six 50s in his last six test innings) to 'give a guy a crack' in the flipping Ashes!

[daysofourlives]

We have some big series coming up, the West Indies and England tours would be a perfect time to blood some untried players giving them an easy baptism before facing the fire of Bangladesh away and New Zealand home

[MJ_23]

I don't think there can be too many complaints with the squad. I would have left Siddle out but they had to pick Voges and Neville definitely deserves his chance before Wade

Chris Rogers has announced he is going to retire from Test cricket at the end of the Ashes series and Brad Haddin has announced his retirement from ODI cricket.

Chris Rogers has announced he is going to retire from Test cricket at the end of the Ashes series and Brad Haddin has announced his retirement from ODI cricket.

I wonder if Rogers' decision was influenced by the plans of Adelaide Oval having a day/night test against the sheep rooters this summer. Either way, I'm kind of glad he's retiring and at least he can back up his good work over the past couple of years and go out at the top of his game.

As for Haddin, why even announce a retirement from ODI's, just piss off all together.....................cheat.

Why doesn't everyone declare Rogers selfish for waiting until after the ashes to retire?

.. If it was Kane Cornes they would

Probably because he didn't announce that he's retiring after day 3 of the third test.

Good onya Bucky. I reckon he's been bloody solid for us and I hope he goes out with a bang.
