A Squad
Adam Voges (captain)
Cullen Bailey
Doug Bollinger
Luke Butterworth
Dan Cullen
Shane Harwood
James Hopes
David Hussey
Phil Jaques
Stuart MacGill
Ashley Noffke
Chris Rogers
Luke Ronchi
Cameron White
In: Harwood, Butterworth
Out: McDonald, Hilfenhaus
Not a very strong looking team is it. I would say that the pace attack is the fourth strongest Australia could field.
The batting line up is pretty much set. Jaques and Rogers will open. Hussey, Voges and White will take up the 3, 4 and 5 positions, probuably in that order. Wicket keeper is obvious.
Number 6 will most possibly by Butterworth. However, is Butterworth capable of taking the role of third seamer, which is seems possible that he may have to, with the selected squad have three spinners? Another option, if the selectors have faith in Ronchi's ability with the bat would be to move Ronchi to 6 and play Hopes at number 7 and hope that the tail does not need to bat beyond Noffke.
At his age, Harwood would not be selected if he was not going to play, same goes for MacGill. However the other two bowling spots are problematic. Will they go for two spinners or three pacemen?
With both Dan Cullen and Cullen Bailey been selected it seems probable that they will go down the route of playing two spinners. Of the two, I believe Bailey should be selected. Although, Bailey can be quite expensive he does have wicket taking abilty which is something that can not be taught. However, is selecting two leggies a good idea? Dan Cullen may be selected to provide variety.
Which of Noffke, Hopes will be selected as the final paceman? Discount Bollinger because he is useless.
If I were selector this would be my team
1. Jaques
2. Rogers
3. Hussey
4. Voges (C)
5. White
6. Butterworth
7. Ronchi (Wk)
8. Noffke
9. Bailey
10. Harwood
11. MacGill
What are your thoughts on the make up of the team?
