Third test team
- Thread starter COMPO
- Start date
Hughes has scores of 4 and 0 on his home track. Is he really the best we have to replace Katich? Really don't think he has much to offer, hasn't made many runs this summer. Yes he may of scored runs for Australia before. but at the moment he isn't in form.
Marsh has opened for WA and made runs- more in the One Day comps though... Correct me if i'm wrong but i believe Marsh also opened the batting for Australia in the series up in Darwin a few years ago...
And you can't pick Hughes on his current form, he's having a great shield game isn't he? 4 and 0 in two innings!

it's Beer's first season for WA and he has looked pretty good, but i agree with most people about his lack of experience. His height will certainly help on the WACA pitch..

Don't all get too excited about Beer...
He will be 12th Man for sure, and the only reason he was picked was so that everyone else who is actually in contention has every opportunity to play for their respective states and no-one is held up in Perth carrying the drinks.
If he is indeed 12th man, I think the selectors have done a half reasonable job.
Eventually, I would like to see Marsh opening, Watson at 6, Smith at 8, and one of the quicks (maybe Johnson or Siddle) dropped. Kahwaja and Ferguson can fight it out over the domestic season to see who replaces Hussey after he retires at the end of the summer.

Now thats Australian, the bloke carrying drinks is called Beer, can imagine it now.
"Ponting has signaled to the dressing room that he's thirsty, Beer will in the middle at the end of this over"
With the bowling of Siddle, Harris, Johnson, Hilfenhaus, Watson, Smith and then Clarke if needed. We should be able to take the 20 wickets needed.

Hey mate, Hussey is in amazing form.. he is averaging over 110 in the ashes and he is our best batsman at the moment. I always hate it when ppl are getting ready to replace someone that will supposedly retire when they are playing freakishly. I'm just not sure what everyone has against Hussey
