Yeah bag the guy who has top scored and is averaging 50 in his last 7 test innings

I confess I wasn't a fan of Siddle's selection, personally would've like to have seen Jackson Bird in there, but Siddle did his job and did it well - amazing what he is capable of when he can get the ball to move a bit.

I like the balance of the line up at the moment, I don't like Warner much (except when he is firing) but would've probably preferred him to Smith, however Smith has shown in patches that he possibly could be a reliable lower order bat.

Rogers
Watson
Hughes
Clarke
Warner
Smith
Haddin/Wade
Siddle
Starc
Pattinson
Bird

Dont play a spinner for the sake of playing a spinner - Clarke, Warner, Smith, Hughes can roll over some gentle tweakers if they want to push through some overs and Watson is an option as another med.

You're stealing my line.

I had a tenner on Siddle at $4.50 to take the most first innings wickets for Australia. I have the same on Phil Hughes to get the highest aussie score in the first dig @ $7.50, money back if fails to reach double figures.

Dam I hope your right!!! If Hughes out scores smith we may get in front, pretty important we don't finish first innings behind IMO
