No ::)
Then again, it is hard to play youngsters over Warne, McGrath, Lee...It is why every team has ups and downs, and what makes sport so great. he higher you climb the harder you fall (Unless you are a rich EPL club who just buy the good guys)

Need to consider some other depth players and get the right mix of players need the bowlers to step up in the next test

Looks like Harris will get the nod and Johnson will get the 'Get out you useless load of shower' ...

i hope they make a double switch harris for johnson and doherty for big ruggy... i reckon we can get by with the spin of north clarke or katich

There's no point in playing 4 specialist fast bowlers when you have Watson in the side. You may as well play an extra batsmen if you're going to drop the spinner. Who needs 5 quality quicks?

[Alex7089]

Nobody ossie ;)
We should play Smith, pretty decent spinner (better than North) and been in good form with the bat :)

How does Johnson count as 'quality'  ;)

[McRooster]

Johnson did not bowl in Australia's net session today at Adelaide Oval.
Harris and Bollinger did, with Bollinger looking dangerous.

Michael Clarke still denies his back was an issue in the first test but seems to want to blame his poor match on the fact that he is suffering stress from the torment of Cruiseon's thread topic in the Front Bar.... ;)
