The 'unfairly shafted by Australian selectors' XI

[LongHopCassidy]

We may have enough for eleven now. Let me check:

1. Simon Katich
2.
3. Rob Quiney
4. Brad Hodge
5.
6. David Hussey
7. Brad Haddin
8. Stuart Clark
9. Nathan Hauritz
10. Steve O'Keefe
11. Nathan Bracken

Almost. Can anyone fill in the gaps?

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm personally offended by the ordering of your tail.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Shame Stuart Law has retired.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

I'm personally offended by the ordering of your tail.

Am doing it as an Australian selector would.

 

[Prince EWS]

How far back can we go?

Nominate Bill Lawry.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I bet Dean Jones has a story or two about this topic.

 

[Spikey]

David Hussey hardly a worthy inclusion.

 

[Spikey]

get rid of quiney too. damien martyn an obvious inclusion

 

[Prince EWS]

3. Jason Gillespie

 

[Jono]

Bracks for ODIs I presume?

 

[ganeshran]

Why Haddin? He doesnt deserve to be in the team.

 

[Capt Blackadder]

If you are going for a currently playing XI then your other opener has to be Rogers as for number 5 I would move Hussey up and put McDonald in there at 6. Though to be fair if he was fit I think he would be playing this test so it is debatable currently if he has been shafted.

Why was Phil Jaques dropped?

 

[Spikey]

he got injured. and then katich kicked arse. and hayden wouldn't quit. and then he got injured again. or something like that. just personally very unlucky

 

[Prince EWS]

Why was Phil Jaques dropped?

He did his back, was out injured for ages, and never really scored enough runs once he came back. It was more unfortunate than it was harsh, especially since Hayden retired right as he was just coming back from that injury.

 

[Daemon]

Chris Rogers

 

[Valer]

Cosgrove?

 

[Prince EWS]

Adam Maher obviously.

 

[Burgey]

2. Michael Slater (1st iteration)
5. Brad Hodge (?)
