The Australian Test side needs a change of direction...

Another one from left field is a young rookie player from the redbacks Tom Plant.
Good opener for Glenelg in district, has been scoring well and in a few seasons will open for SA once blewett and elliot retire.
Thats a hot tip.

Blewett isn't opening now. Plant had a few games last season but except for his ton in Sydney didn't perform. Maybe he was introduced a bit early though. The ton he made shows he has potential there. Hopefully for SA he can fulfil that potential.

Cameron White? Bwah Bwah Bwah...most overrated hack of this era...how he gets a one-day game I'll be stuffed...

Agreed Tigerboss but Nathan Hauritz has a fairly strong claim to the title of most overated hack as well. His bowling ability is about on a par and his batting is even worse than White.

My side looking toward 2012 would look like this at this stage. mind you there are a lot of players to come and go before then.

1. Jaques NSW
2. Mash VIC
3. Marsh WA
4. Cosgrove SA
5. Clarke NSW Captain
6. Watson QLD Vice Captain
7. Crosthwaite VIC WK
8. Cullen SA
9. Johnson QLD
10. Tait SA
11. Rofe SA
12. Hilfenhaus TAS Reserve Batter
13. Ferguson SA Reserve Keeper

I would have Darren Lehmann as the Aussie coach by then as well. The change of guard will happen sometime shortly after the World Cup and who better than Boof to lead a group of young international cricketers.
Well if not caoch atleast Assistant.
