yer he his having a net session at the scg on boxing day i think or around that day to prove his fit

[ossie85]

So, Beer in or Out?

And if in, Siddle or Hilf out? Hilf was better than Siddle in 3rd test, but Siddle is Victorian....

[Hawka]

siddle made a great point in the media a few days back that smith was there number 1 spinner wen haurie was injured wen they played pakistan why cant he and clarke take the spinners overs there both capable

yeah so he wont bowl so we need a spinner  ::)

[Alex7089]

Smith is a spinner ::)
Clarke just can just suck it up and bowl 5-10 overs if he can't drop him for Hauritz who is seemingly more capable with the bat anyway :P

[Hawka]

i know rite haurie is battin beta then clrake he has 2 centuries and a oneday 50 in the last 2 weeks
clarke has 1 fifty

Except we played only 3 bowlers with him!

Just seems really overkill to have Johnson, Harris, Hilf, Siddle and Watson.

[Hawka]

ossie but it lets watson focus on batting and he is in great form and he woul;d stil b in the team if he coundt bowl

[ossie85]

Watson was in great form with the bat, as well as doing 10 overs or so an innings. Just think with batting line-up not doing all that great (Watson, Hussey aside) it seems strange to have an extra bowler and yet still manage to not have a spinner

[Cicjose]

This team should in my opinion have 3 front line fast bowlers and one spinner with Watson being the fifth bowler

[Hawka]

clarke said in a press confernce that he has been bowling well in the nets

[ossie85]

Clarke probably's thinking he is batting well also

[Alex7089]

This. Clarke is a fool.
