So we flower our batting even more -.-

it really doesn't make much sense... but i'll hold judgement until i see how it works out.. still seems weird though.

[T Dog]

A top six with all rounders?...c'mon.. :o

[Spinking]

Suppose the only upside is our tailenders have been out-scoring our batsmen, so might as well pick more tailenders...  ::)

Seriously - why don't they just pick the 6 best performing batsmen in the country and leave them in there until someone puts their hand up to have earned a spot?

[roo boys!]

Get in those lefties! From a purely biased point of view, the way I see cricket the more left arm quickies you've got the better. Conveniently my two favourite Aussie cricketers in Faulkner and Starc (purely due to the left arm nature) come into the side.

Meanwhile Kerrigan and Woakes come in for Bresnan and Bairstow

[Nige]

WOAKESSSYYY. If I was gonna approve of anyone replacing Brez, it's him.  :P

[PowerBug]

This is a joke. They drop Bairstow but bring in more bowlers when Gary Ballance is carving up for the twos and Yorkshire. >:(

[Jukes]

That one probably should have been given...

[Jukes]

GOT HIM! Ando you superstar!

[Grazz]

Why does the song "here we go again" keep playing in my ears. :(

[Bill Manspeaker]

just what we needed with a weakened batting line-up.... flower. dig into Watto for flower sake

[colmullet]

gotta love the aussie selectors......crap our batting lineup is struggling, lets drop a batter and bowler and replace with an all rounder and a bowler......there that's much better  :o :o :o

[Jukes]

If there's no middle order, there can't be a middle order collapse.

[colmullet]

seems to be the only logic i can see :p
