Okay. So?
They should be ashamed, that's all.

Especially Victoria who have Australia's second highest population and in a decade have only produced Warne and Fleming as long term Aus cricketers.

ha come on, atm other than Warne no other victorian really deserves to be in the Australian side. The closest in White but even he has to do a lot to get into the side.

With Australia's 18-man squad having to be trimmed to 14 before the start, which 4 will be cut?

I'm thinking the following ten will definitely play:

Ricky Ponting (capt)
Andrew Symonds
Michael Hussey (vc)
Michael Clarke
Shane Watson
Brad Haddin (wk)
Brett Lee
Brad Hogg
Nathan Bracken
Glenn McGrath

Which leaves 4 to be cut from the following:

Damien Martyn
Matthew Hayden
Simon Katich
Mark Cosgrove
Phil Jaques
Daniel Cullen
Mitchell Johnson
Stuart Clark
Johnson
Cullen
Cosgrove
Hayden

No real suprises in that squad. That's not to say I like the squad. Hayden and Jaques have much more right than Katich to play.n Katich is to slower batsmen for the up tempo game of ODI cricket.

I think Hogg will be the selectors chose for nearly every ODI. He is easily the second best spinner in Australia after Warne.

Katich is going to Champions trophy and Hayden is not and yet Hayden has perfomed much better than Katich in the Malaysia tri-series (not to mention Jaques also missing out).....What were the Aussie selectors thinking :@

Yeah, seems a bit ridiculous. Although they could always replace Katich with Hayden.

Perhaps the selectors make a decision based on more than just the last two matches?

Yes that's unfortunate. But I think the selectors chose the final Champions Trophy squad before the Malaysia series started.
