Perhaps Hobart will have to wait a little longer for their first D/N International

If Marsh and White can bat for 20 overs, AUS should at least post a competitive total, i would think 180-200.

iwould think if 180 was offered to them now they'd love to take it.

Dont underestimate the two at the crease at the moment, we've all seen what White can do when he explodes, and Marsh should be opening the batting in the test side IMO.

IMO it will also depend on which LEE and TAIT rock up as when them 2 are on they'll defend 180 with ease.

ohh i'm not phantom i've seen marsh play a couple of great T20 innings in the last 2 weeks so his defiantly in form.

We got that Lee allrounder coming in at 8, imagine if he got a boundary, he was doing a Carlos last week when he took a regulation catch.

[carey]

huge change with these 2 bowling....

[Phantom Gossiper]

Thought that LBW looked fairly close..

[Grahaml]

Good partnership here. Still got to be aiming for over 200. Keep rotating strike, put away the odd loose ball and then hopefully have enough wickets in hand to have a reasonable hit towards the end.

Lee and Tait will need to be at their best. Still not done and dusted if they bowl well, but if they bowl badly it soon will be without some serious hitting near the end of our innings.

[Lightning McQueen]

With Ponting, Paine, Hastings and Mitch being the 4 on the sidelines they really seem short of alternatives if we have a few struggling for form.

[Lightning McQueen]

Out of the 15 in the squad on the sub-continent this is how I'd line them up.

Watto
Paine
Ponting
Clarke
White
M.Hussey
Haddin
D.Hussey
Hauritz
Mitch
Tait

Clarke will have to be the 6th bowler.
If M.Hussey isn't going, Marsh in to open and drop Painey down.
I think they didn't need all 5 quicks, should've gone the extra batsman or recognised all-rounder, sorry, I'm still spewing.

[Phantom Gossiper]

White out for 45.
