Distinctly remember being shouted down when I said I rated North myself. "FTB!" was the cry. Looked in sensational touch against SA in the FR game in Adelaide.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
I'm going to jump on the bandwagon basically, but rate North, just quietly. Wouldn't mind seeing him in a Baggy Green.

I would like to see Marcus North in the Australian team now, in front of Andrew Symonds at number 6 in the order.
North is a good spin bowler, he's better than Symonds and I'd back him over Symonds batting-wise at the moment who really isn't in any sort of form.

There are a few people who'd I'd rather see ahead of Symonds. David Hussey and Marcus North are at the top of the list.

I thought QLD were going to be the dud team of the season. They have attained maximum points from dispirited NSW outift. I'm not sure how much of an impact the loss of Forest's father had on the team. Either way, the team resembles NZ sides of the late 1990s and early 2000s; plenty of all-rounders who aren't really do anything.
I'd like to see NSW retain Khawaja at the top. But I don't know what they can do with Henriques and S. Smith. Neither are contributing in either discipline to retain their place in the team. I'm not sure if there are better batsmen in NSW than Henriques (to dislodge him), but surely there are better than S. Smith?

There are couple better bats Jaques, Katich, Clarke oh wait.
Considering Ed Cowan has a decent FC record in the middle order, he would be worth a shot. Rohrer very unlucky as batsmen, but hasn't scored many runs in Grade cricket. But considering what O'Brien and Cooper have done in SA, he would be given another run. That bit of extra grade experience could help. Then you have Warner and Henry, but neither seem ready for FC cricket. After that it just more all rounders like O'Keefe, or Robson.
Whoever you pick will probably be pretty inconsistent, but Cowan and Rohrer have more established techniques at this level and some potential in the past. They should be the guys the selectors go to imo.

Poor research clearly; Ben Rohrer - 386 runs @ 64
Some other batsmen that might be considered:
Peter Maraziotis - 433 @ 54 (Former NSW 2nds Batsmen)
Jon Moss - 428 @ 61
James Packman - 406 @ 64 (Played a couple games a few years back)
James Crosthwaite - 346 @ 49 (Adam's brother and current reserve keeper)
Anthony Clark - 391 @ 48 (Hat trick for Australia in the 90s, learnt how to bat it seems)
Would love to see Moss get a chance. Moss > Thornley tbh.

It was Anthony Stuart mate, you got the wrong part of Stuart Clark.

Kruger! What a gun!
May start a Henriques-like over-rating campaign on Cricketweb Forums for him.

The really sad thing is that I've been following this Anthony Clark for about four seasons in grade cricket, cus I thought he was that Anthony Stuart. Bloody hell I blame the English and their inability to thing for more then 10 names. Lankan names > Australia names any day of week. On that note Ahillen Beadle also scoring runs. Surprised he didn't jump on the IPL train and try his luck with Tamil Nadu.

Got to remember that the over-rating campaign of Henriques isn't limited to CW.

Not unless the selectors use CW too. I suspect morgieb.

I'm surprised I wasn't suspected after Krejza got picked.

Harsh should have given Cooper a decent run imo, especially as there is no openers in SA. Klinger to stop scoring runs now he has open. I wonder who will open with him Borgas, Christain or Ferguson.
