The team you would like Australia to play in third test

[Craig]

Who's in Australia A? Bollinger? Nannes? McKay?

I want Bollinger to play, TBH.

Nannes is now a Dutchie, so how can he play for Australia anytime soon?

Maybe if Australia passed him to the left-hand side?

Holland is an Associate side. If he was called up for Australia, no one would stand in his way.

If Johnson doesn't perform with the ball in net sessions, is dropping him an option? As much as i enjoy watching him bowl, his is obviously struggling of late.

Probably Clark in for Johnson.

Why can't this go in the *Official* match thread?

Bah, he edited. There was no Hilf before.

If someone makes a crazy apparent-suggestion, even when the post is directly above yours, it's a good idea to quote it so as the near-inevitable case of it being edited doesn't make you look foolish.

Nannes is 100% Australian, born there and lived there his entire life, and should never be playing for Holland. Would only be glad to see Australia call-up such an unproven player because it'd mean this nonsense of him being picked for Holland is put to bed.

I dunno - Graham Gooch may have been better than all of that lot with his eyes closed in his heyday, but I reckon he might go worse now he's in his mid-50s.

Well done on not being tempted to go for David Gower though - can see that backfiring spectacularly, given he's been keeping his eye in in the com-box all these years, cunningly waiting for the call, a trick I see Warne is now copying.

Eoin Morgan much?

Not enough Musical Youth references on cricket fora IMHO.

I really hate the fact that Siddle has to pay for Johnson's failure. I understand that the selectors want to show some faith in MJ but Siddle wasn't half as bad as Johnson, yet he's the most likely candidate to get the chop. ****ing stoooopid.

Far from OOTQ that both of them will remain. I honestly wouldn't be remotely surprised to see Clark remain on the sidelines.

 

[zaremba]

Clark = Hoggard

 

[Matt79]

Come on Aussies, how many of you read the question in the thread title and thought 'Bangladesh'?

Lol, came into this thread solelyto say "England - would be weird changing opponents mid-series"

Clark = Hoggard

Certainly plenty in common. Asim Kamal being another (except of course that he's not a bowler).
