Look if you're picking O'Keefe bcos he's a better bat then I think you've missed the point. He'll only ever be picked for his bowling with his batting being a nice adjunct.
Wade bats at 7 so you'd axe a bat to play O'Keefe. Well whats the point? I'd rather have 6 bats than O'Keefe doing an impersonation of one. Your criticsim of Lyon is pungent but your case for O'Keefe timorous. Why not just say axe all spinners bcos they wont be able to exploit the conditions anyway and go in with 4 quicks? You'd get back up from Watto, Warner, Clarke (if fit) and even Wade (Hughes keeping for him). If you don't want Lyon and want a bowler who takes wkts I think that is the more logical option that is considerate of our less than stellar batting atm.

Wade batted 6 in the last test, and all the talk is that he'll bat 6 on the Indian tour.
I wouldn't pick O'Keefe because he's a better bat, but rather because he's a better bowler. That he happens to also be a far superior batsman does give some intriguing options for the Ashes tour, particularly if the selectors want to go with Wade at 6.

Nah look, as I'm pissed at lunch I will divulge this.
It's always good to have new people join and have a discussion with them. Even if you disagree with what they say, who gives a ****? Provided no **** has a crack at someone on a personal level about important ****, who cares? Like when we had a disagreement in the politics thread, so what? Doesn't mean you brush someone on everything. Be small minded to.
Except Jono. WAC.

oldmancraigey. Ok fine. However the way I see the construction of your team is that you have effectively replaced Lyon with a pace man and an axing a batsman for O'Keefe. Better if you just drop Lyon for a speed man and keep 6 bats.
EDIT: thanks jono.

Dead set, come at me ****.
There has never been any more incentive for me to kill you you old ****. Last time we had lunch you shouted me an expensive one, so I owe you. If I do away with you soon I can get rid of that debt.
Watch your back.
