I can see where people are coming from, but lets remember this guy has only taken two wickets all series. Australia need to win this game, not draw it.

Had Lee/Watson/White/Whoever been taking a heap of wickets all series and Clark only had 2, then fair enough. But considering no one has run through the Indians, it seems pretty strange logic to leave out the bowler that is most capable of creating pressure and wickets for other bowlers, not nessesarially just himself, instead of others who also aren't really taking wickets but getting hit around at about 5 or 6 an over. Never underestimate the value of putting pressure on players like Sehwag, Dhoni, Ganguly etc. They have proven that they can struggle when the runs dry up in the past, and drying up runs goes a long way toward winning Test matches...

The Oz team selection smells like trying not to lose rather than trying to win.

Three secialist bowlers one of which is playing his test and 4 batting allrounders.
(BTW Watson is the koala in the team)

White should have been out for Krejka and if Clarke (who is the most successful bowler in the team) is injured then another specialist bowler should be in.

If White is in for his batting at number eight, it indicates a loss of confidence in the 7 above doesn't it.
The selection of the team throughout the series shows a lack of confidence in the overall team structure and planning.

ronchi is too rash for test matches imo

On that last ball of Jason's over: The bat hit the ground. No edge.
