Aust team for the third test

[clontaago]

Johnson could almost be classed as an all rounder the way he is going with the bat. Piss the Clown off and pick another bowler and push Johnson up the order.

 

[Nutzcraw]

My side for South Africa:

Matt Hayden
Simon katich
Ricky Ponting
Michael Clarke
Michael Hussey (I believe Clarke should be 4 with Huss at 5)
Brad Haddin
Mitchell Johnson
Jason Krejza (if he can keep the runs down)
Peter Siddle
Doug Bollinger
Ben Hilfenhaus

 

[Volley]

How can you seriously keep picking Hayden?

The time is right for Hughes, and then when Jaques is fit he can join him.

Jaques
Hughes
Ponting
Katich
Clarke
Hussey (Much better at 6, batting with the tail and batting as slow as he wants)
Haddin
Johnson
Siddle
Clark
Bollinger


Clarke and Katich can bowl some spin, Hauritz and Krejza are both average. If Clark isn't fit, then Hilf can take his spot.

 

[clontaago]

On the all rounder topic, why not pick Marcus North.

Averages 44 in first class with the bat and 44 @ 3.1 with the ball.

 

[SilentBob]

Symonds will be back in there if fit and Ponting has anything to do with it.

When is McGain due back?

 

[The Gronk]

Mcgain is back playing grade.  Should be fit for the SA tour, but may have no form. 

 

[Fro]

he should fit right into our bowling attack with no form

 

[SilentBob]

He should tour IMO, wrist spinner is a must and he's the best we have, he will have no better chance than against SA and then England to show what he has got.
