which players will play their last test matches in the forthcoming ashes series

[Spikey]

Shane Watson

ok who else



2009 causalities:

Manou
Clark
Harmison
Flintoff

 

[Howe_zat]

Rogers whether he does well or not

Onions/Tremmers coming in for one game could well do

 

[Adders]

Haddin.

Possibly Bres if he doesn't do so well.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Harris? Breaks down again and that might be that with the Aussies being the best attack in the world he surely won't be able to take another 6 month holiday/rehab and get his place back.

Cowan, not a great record as it is and if he doesn't do well could be bombed.

 

[Pothas]

Compton

The three I can think of from Australia are Haddin, Rogers and Harris. Haddin could be dumped if he has a poor series, and another dumping is his career you'd think. Rogers seems to be the most blatantly short-term pick ever, and if Harris breaks down again it's probably his career.

NFI for England. Maybe someone like Onions, Tremlett or Bresnan if they get games and go poorly, or maybe Compton if he struggles.

 

[GIMH]

Burgey

 

[uvelocity]

England or Aussie series ****?

 

[Maximas]

Rogers will probably do well and I'd say they will retain him for at least the SA tour. Haddin and Harris possibly the the same. I honestly think Lyon is on his last legs if he underperforms with Fawad and Agar knocking on the door, but I think he has really improved recently, so who knows?

 

[Daemon]

Bresnan, Haddin, Cowan

 

[Pothas]

Bresnan certainly a bold prediction, also almost certainly not a correct one.

 

[Furball]

Graeme Swann an outside punt if his injury problems keep mounting up.

 

[Cabinet96]

Compton and Rodgers the obvious candidates. Swann and Harris are also possibilities with injuries.

Predicting Bresnan is just mad.

Edit: Assume this covers both series?

 

[Maximas]

Graeme Swann an outside punt if his injury problems keep mounting up.

He seems to think he has got it right now, he talked about playing until age 38 or so a little while ago.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Roger's and the magical Ponting call up

 

[Backlash]

Hopefully about half of the Australian players, and the CEO and the board over at Cricket Australia.

 

[Top_Cat]

Cowan has already played his last Test.

 

[Spikey]

Christian to be called into the squad imho

 

[Top_Cat]

If Shaun Young can get a game....

 

[morgieb]

Why would Arthur's sacking lead to the end of Cowan's career?
