As long as he starts bad mouthing the English players before this series, he can stay as long as he likes as far as I care.

I can see our Antipodean posters/friends have started the tour with their normal level of intelligent and witty discourse....

anyway i really don't get why saying watson should open instead of wade is controversial or w/ever

that said, I guess wade opening today doesn't mean he'll open in the ODers, but I really wish they'd just pick the combo and stick with it.

I don't care if wade or watson opens. but I cant see wade batting 3.

id rather watson at 3 than wade at 7

assuming smitteh goes back to his pre-IPL boundary form, of course

So, Spikey, you don't want Smith at 7 but want him 8 instead?
Well that was a joke

But Smith, up until the IPL where he suddenly turned into a master blaster, is almost always at his worst when you need him to smack it. (as seen in almost all his ODI and T20 innings for aus), so I'm not sure if I'd pick him in the team at all, but I certainly try to avoid him being in that 6/7 late innings slogging area.


watson
warner
bailey
clarke
forrest
dussey
wade
bowlers

is probably what I'd do.maybe switch bailey and forrest around actually. so yeah smith wouldn't be in the team at all

of course, it is just a warm up
