[spell_check]

Shane Watson has found another way to injure himself, using Glenn McGrath as inspiration. Phil Hughes has replaced him.

Entertaining innings

[bennymacca]

hughes still cant get a game, even with clarke out...

Having said that its a fair team and missing Warner , Pup and McKay

[bennymacca]

yeah. i mean if marsh can come in and score runs then they have made the right call havent they

[bennymacca]

also mckay was dropped.

hope richardson bowls well though

[wristwatcher]

yeah. i mean if marsh can come in and score runs then they have made the right call havent they

He is a long term One day player and played beautifully today. Despite Phils form of late suggesting he should be a certain starter I don't think he is in the World Cup plans. In my previous list I didn't mention Watson either.

[bennymacca]

yeah good call, forgot about watson too haha.

yeah i kind of agree, i dont think hughes is part of a long term one day side

[wristwatcher]

First choice XI for World Cup still with some sorting to be done

1. Finch
2. Warner
3. Watson
4. Bailey
5. Clarke/M Marsh
6. Maxwell
7. Haddin
8. Faulkner
9. Johnson
10. McKay/Harris/Starc
11. Lyon/Doherty

[bennymacca]

yeah i reckon that is about right. i think harris is an interesting one, whether he gets up for the world cup. im sure he will try. he would go in, then starc, then mckay imo.

marsh would be a great addition, but not sure he gets a gig unless clarke is unfit, as you have pointed out.

[carey]

People on here know my thoughts on the Australian cricket side. But gee they look impressive ATM I think they've finally got the mix right.
