i know you werent, thats the funny part.
and sadly you may not be far off with that team.
they wont play Paine as a bat, 1 he is still out injured as far as i know and 2 we simply wont play 2 keepers, it just wont happen.
i think Siddle will hold his spot, the one in trouble is the Rug, he was shattered after missing out in Brisbane and has not been the same bowler he can be in this test.
Johnson is no chance, he hasnt bowled a ball in a match since being dropped, ergo has not proven any fix is even halfway effective.
Katich may be injured, and Clarke Definately is. but they wont leave them out if they can possibly avoid it.
Smith is a chance, but i just don't think he's there yet, but the options are not great. O'Keefe perhaps.
3rd Quick, maybe Copeland or Cameron, they are up there in the shield.
personally I reckon the following couldnt perform any worse
Hughes
Katich
Watson
Ponting
Hussey
S Marsh (if he is fit again)
Haddin
O'Keefe
Harris
Siddle
Copeland or Cameron
and I know it wont get picked.
P.S. Clarke only out for Injury sake, it may be that Katich is unable to play either.
yes i've dropped Ponting down the order a bit, if its Good enough for Steve Waugh and Allan Border its good enough for him.
And Shaun Marsh is a purely a name out of a hat as its in Perth. Could throw Khuwaja (sp) White, Ferguson, or anyone in there, hell even nick Maddinson.
something needs to change, a fighting draw in this game will only postpone the inevitable and paper over the cracks.
