Boxing Day test. AUS vs WI

[western royboy]

I think Bird and Behrendorf are pretty stiff to not be in the squad. Better bowlers than Boland.

Lack of match fitness ruled them out - 4 day matches - Bird pace cost him

Siddle's not bowling in the nets today so he's almost certainly out.

So is Sayers but its the pace that hurts guys like them.

Behrendorff hadn't played the last 3 shield games.

Nothing wrong with Behrendorff's pace. Like eth says it is purely fitness, else he'd be in 100 times over before Boland.
