He's not that bad, Tony that is.



If I hadn't already conceded Ballance had zero chance of playing the first test after Carberry scored big, Ballance's failure has secured it. :( Prior is apparently hurt, that'll open the door for Bairstow, who I think is behind Ballance as a batsman. So I'll be hoping for Joe Root to fail, so his fellow Yorkshireman can take his place in Adelaide. (Which I'll be there on Day 1 :D)

Balance has been found out very quickly by bowlers not close to test selection. Will need a lot more work before making it as a test player you'd think, has a lot of potential though and from an australian point of view I'd be very happy with he plays, hasn't looked like making a run on our pitches :P

Nailed it, haha. With Faulkner in the 12 man squad as well

Still not a fan of smith lol but his performances mean he has to be selected. Nice to see that a lot of the guys coming in the ashes are in very good form, augurs well  :). Really looking forward to it! Would love to see Doolan get a shot in the test team at some stage too.

It was the squad I would have picked but i would replace Watson with Hughes.

Although what it looks like is that its going to be either Watson or Faulkner playing not both
