Personally i would have taken McGain instead of McDonald. That ranga is the 3rd all-rounder in the squad after Watson and North which seems a bit over the top to me. I know McGain got hammered in the last series, but the poms cant play leg spin at all. Warne took 40 wickets last series over there and we are kidding ourselves if Hauritz is good for more than 10 or so.Â
My 11 would be
Hughes
Katich
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Watson
Haddin
Johnson
Clark
Hauritz
McGain
What they will go with:
Hughes
Katich
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
North
Haddin
Johnson
Lee
Clark
Hauritz
