Pakistan have some lusty odds, would've thought that they would be firmer than the Windies or Kiwi's.

Ahead of Bailey or marsh maybe. Need to pick a full time spinner.
Harris is gun, If he gets through the summer, then the world cup and then helps us go back to back in the ashes i'd behappy for hi, to retire on that note

I think we will play maxwell instead of a specialist spinner, maybe Lyon comes in for the slower decks. And I have doubts that Clarke will get up. Other than that I think your team is about spot on including the squad.

I really hope that Rhino gets through too, I don't mind seeing average size show as a 6th bowling option or a pinch hitter but there's a bit too much emphasis on him currently.
I think Faulkner could go up a spot or two.

I think they'll opt for SOK or X over Gazza.

Im not even sure they know. Maxwell and smith to bowl 10 overs of spin between them is a decent option. And makes our batting look very strong, particularly our lower order hitting with maxwell Faulkner Haddin Johnson.

If they can't get good crowds in Oz for an ODI WC, the ODI are dead
Worry for the WC will be is how many Aussies are saving there cash for the Asian Football Cup, most of my mates are choosing to get football tix

Crowds will be shit, no one cares about games that don't involve their nation.
Having said that, I have great tickets for the England vs Bangladesh game, the India vs Pakistan game would be awesome but I'm too scared to go to that one.
