I actually think that a loss or two in the limited over games or a loss in the first test could be the best thing to happen for us for the long term picture.
As it is, Shaun Marsh is pretty much guaranteed a cap in the first test which over the various formats we have an ageing list, these are the series' that we need to pump matches into the kids and next generation.
By Jan 1 we will have:
S.Marsh 36
Paine 35
Siddle 35
Finch 33
Usman 33
Warner 33
Wade 32
Lyon 32
Maxwell 31

Bit harsh on the Kiwis, proven to be a very good test side of late. Dont expect them to win here but they will be competitive. Pakistan will be crap.

Pakistan will be hoping their 19yo Lefty Afridi will cause damage on the Aussie wickets. Based on his World Cup bowling he can get a bit of bounce but will go for a few runs .
Australia have over 20 , T20 internationals coming up over the next 12 months !

Obviously the selectors are looking at Pucovski and giving Khawaja and Head every chance to get a spot in the first test team and looks like it's Harris, Burns or possibly Maddinson to partner Warner at the top

Very strange side with Harris, Burns, Khawaja, Maddinson you'd think all vying for the opening bat spot.
Would think bottom half:
7. Carey (w/k)
8. Neser
9. Abbott
10. Richardson
11. Meredith
So would guess they'd have Head (6), Pucovski (5) Burns (4), Khawaja (3) and then open with Harris & Maddinson?

Maddinson will be looked at middle order I would imagine. He made a lot of his runs there last year from memory (could be wrong)

Yeah I would of thought Maddinson will be in the middle order given who else is in the team, which is silly since he's been opening for Victoria for awhile now. As Bedge said it's a strange line up batting wise.
I think it will be-
Harris
Burns
Khawaja
Pucovski
Head
Maddinson
Carey
Neser
Abbott
Richardson
Meredith

Bird seems to have dropped out of the nest, Sayers will never get another look in, Abbott as given a game in the tour match to preserve our main stocks and reward his efforts without much in it long term.
As much as I don't rate him, Chris Tremain would feel ripped off not to get a gig in the nothing match, his file has been placed in the same folder as Sayers I'd imagine.

Agreed that Bird is very stiff. Had a great summer last season in the Shield (well the last 7 or 8 seasons really), and from what I recall did alright in the A-matches in England (?)Lightning McQueen wrote:Riley Meredith has become somewhat of a bolter, he'd be 6th or 7th in line at worst now.
