Clarke, been a great player but clearly shot. Marsh, thanks for coming. Ditto Voges, Watson and Haddin. I'd leave Steve Smith at 3.
On the Academy thing I'd move it back to Adelaide where it belongs. The Adelaide district scene is a joke so by having Academy players filling in temporarily for the Redbacks like Bevan, Alley and Berry did makes it harder for the locals to get into the Shield side. Let's reduce that particular revolving door and get the Academy back to what it should be doing.
The Shield is a worry as well. T20 has dead set killed it. No shield cricket during January means you stick with Dads army types during the test series as the young blokes have very little time to press their claims.
Have an age limit at the Big Bash. Make it for old bastards only. Get the young players playing Shield Cricket IN JANUARY. Space out the tests rather than having blocks. These guys are professional cricketers. Having the series over by January 3 is a joke.
Teeball is poison to Test Cricket, because of the apparent inability of some of our batsmen to develop an innings and for the carnage that it causes in the domestic programming. Remove the blocks, make Big Bash a retirement home or a showcase for more experienced cricketers and let the young players develop their games at the long level with an actual chance of forcing their way into the Australia Day test (in Adelaide).

No it doesnt. For starters anyone playing IPL should not be selected for tests. We should have completely differant squads for tests and T20's. Players can then make a choice in what form they want to play

See what happened when Australian rugby relaxed it's hard line stance on playing in Australia comps rather than chasing the money OS?
We picked our best playyrs and beat the All Balcks. Kepu, Horwill, Ashley-Cooper, Mitchell and Giteau all wouldn't have played under the old rules but were in the run on team on Saturday night.
Ban players for playing T20 and we'll be shittier than what we are now.

We have the options although we lack a genuine allrounder, the way I see it, if you don't have one with world class abilities, don't play one.

Sandhu isnt a spinner, though he did bowl some in India
