With Rogers out you don't think Watson will go back to Opening?
It sounds like they're favouring Marsh to open and keeping Watson down the order.

This is Shaun I'm guessing? So if they play Voges then Mitch Marsh will miss?! That is interesting, hopefully Voges gets a game :)

What time is this due to start??
11:30pm tonight if you live in SA :) so I think that makes 10pm for WA.

Basically 12 hours from now.

If I didn't have exams coming up I'd be watching it. Might watch the first hour or two each night.

The first test isn't played tonight either, starts 12am Thursday morning, just thought that was important.

Very much like the team suggested above, can't really fault it.. However just did some reading and they think the grass may be gone by the day of the match, and that it could be a deck for either of the spinners and fast bowlers.. The East deck right next to the main pitch is being used by the spinners, while the western deck is being used for the paceman so that could be intriguing when it comes to the main pitch.

If Australia goes with Ahmed, Clarke has hinted that Marsh will play, but if they go with three quicks Voges will play

So the team will either be

Warner 
Marsh
Smith
Clarke
Watson
Marsh
Haddin
Johnson
Hazlewood
Lyon
Ahmed

Warner
Marsh
Smith
Clarke 
Voges
Watson
Haddin
Johnson
Starc
Hazlewood
Lyon

Yeah sorry man I was so confused was like 100% sure it was yesterday haha.

So we have the option of spinners for this tour. We have Nathan Lyon and what I like to call "ANYONE ELSE"

Naturally because Michael Clarke and the entire flowering selection team are knobs we make the stupid choice  ::)

I wouldn't worry about the spinners. They should do the job against WI and as for the Ashes, well, did you see Buttoer get out? :-[ Some Craig bloke took wickets and Williamson took 3 for them, between Lyon, Ahmed and Voges Australia will have no issue rolling England with spin. And England already will be shower scared of the pace attack from the last tour (coz it's the same flowering team)

You do know that Clarke isn't a selector, right?

He still has influence. And even if he didn't he's still a knob.  :P
