I'm not condoning the Marah choice, I would much rather Hughes in the team as Jayman said.

And Koop he won't just flower Marsh up, he'll flower the whole team up. As good as we think we are against England we have a whole new thing awaiting us at South Africa. As much as we think we're good I think AB, Steyn, Amla &Philander and co will show us why they're the best in the world. Might bring our players back to earth a little bit.

Only rejoice for us is that Kallis retired. Imagine if he was still in, holy hell.

I think the one great thing about the team that defeated the Poms was that the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

It wasn't 11 individuals the team played better than the 11 men put on the park. So while you might look player vs. player with the Safas, the Aussies are more than just the 11 men on the field at the end of the day.

I'm not just looking at it that way mate, team v team I cringe because they flog us in very aspect. We do have lots of confidence which can only be a good thing, but I'm not sure how well we'll go to be honest.

Rogers, Warner, Hughes, Watson, Clarke and Smith should be our top 6.

Stop agreeing with J, its bad for your health. But that team does have a lot of NSW reps and ex-reps in it

Surely give it to Hadds?

I love Mitchy but think he would make a captain as good as Dane Swan captaining the Pies - good player, not sure about leadership :P

pound for pound when looking at statistics/players etc. The Poms flogged us in every aspect.
