I don't think Dougie's fit. That's why they dropped him.....but then I think if fitness is the big thing why did they recall Johnson?  :-\

[ossie85]

Bollinger going is a surprise...

You know, Siddle hasn't bowled that well apart from Day 1

[Hawka]

khawja batted nicely 2day stil not sure y he wasnt picked

[Hawka]

well haurtiz sold all his aussie gear but u cant say thats stupid he is the countrys best spinner he averges 33 with the ball in test cricket the only reason he was dropped was the selectors have rely rely high expectaions like warne and macgill ,,the selelctors need to relize that haurie is the best dosent matter if he can hardly spin the bowl he is the best spinner we got

ANYONE NOT NAMED NATHAN HAURITZ!

cmon a actual spinner from australia who is stil playin cricket (not warney)

[ossie85]

Nathan Hauritz has proven himself the best spinner in Australia, and should be playing instead of Beer.

I don't actually think Beer will play... think it will be:

Watson
Hughes
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Smith
Haddin
Johnson
Harris
Siddle
Hilfenhaus

12th - Beer

I agree. Hauritz should really be given the shot ahead of an unknown to the majority of us.

He had a little interview after a match saying he hasn't been contacted by selectors since being dropped from the side. Hasn't been told what he did wrong or what he should work on.

[Boomz]

The problem is everyone including the selectors have too high hopes of spinners after Warne & even MacGill...

[Justin Bieber]

They'll never find players like them. They have to work with what is available.

They have to see that ::).
