Well, I mean by his own lofty standards of course. 4 test matches and no tonne? Doesn't seem possible for The Don.

I hate to say it, but I think Trumper needs to be dropped for the Adelaide test. He started with a bang, but he's been woeful since. Bobby Simpson would be the perfect player to bring in, but he wasn't in the squad, so I'd give Morris another go. Davidson (was he in the squad?) or Lindwall should come back in for O'Reilly. The selectors should admit their mistake and recall Harvey in Ponting's place... Dropping Chappell for Waugh might not be a bad idea either. May as well give him a go - Greg has had more chances than some and hasn't really contributed enough. 4 changes all up then.
My XI would be:
Morris, Hayden, Bradman, Harvey, Waugh, Miller, Gilchrist, Davidson, Warne, Lillee, McGrath

Yep, that's pretty much as Adharcric called it before, and I'd have to agree with both of you. Trumper definitely hasn't followed up his initial ton sadly, and the Tiger has been disappointing. My only concern is that I think at least one of Chappell or Punter will surely come good in Adelaide...
Can someone post the updated series stats now too?

He couldn't possibly go 5 Tests without a ton could he? Given his fifties to centuries conversion rate, we're already pushing belief that he could have so many half tons this series without tonning up in any of them.I can't help but think that surely The Don is going to ton up in at least one of the innings in Adelaide. A big 187* or similar...

Haynes only played the 4th Test.

Whatever it takes!!!
yep, but Headley did well at MCG... surely he deserves to be in the side and open more than Haynes, no?

Headley is not really an opener though. In an all-time XI, you shouldn't have guys batting out of position.

I thought Headley has opened in tests a few times, he hasn't?

Amazing!!!!!!!! Well done Windies!!!!

He had a decent series - just no tons. That said, he is certainly due for a huge one. Marshall looks to be in good touch though so it should be a tight contest.
I think I may have wasted his form while testing the lineups (AUS vs SL and WI vs NZ). Bradman scored 170* in that.

Whoa, what a spanking Australia received here, Marshall kicks ass. I think its safe to say Australians have been over rated over the years.
