Not sure what siddle wrong in the last test match you speak of? Was clearly our best bowler in the 1st inning and was good in 2nd inning. Also bowled very economical.
Starc looked a clone of Johnson but give him a go, its only his first game.
Christian is pretty much guaranteed to play now Watson is unlikely
Assuming they are so desperate for an all rounder that we shaft someone to make way. Starc will play now I don't think Harris will get up.
The burning question is what to do with Marsh? I guess if fit he replaces Warner but that is not ideal.
He replaces Warner and Khawaja and Hussey open
The only way things can really work out is if Ponting retires and Marsh slots into 3, Warner gets a reprieve, but then Hussey will have to move to 4 as Clarke cant

You're a funny guy. I thought you were a Warner fan. Anyway it will depend on who is available. Although as we discussed there are plently of other options available if the test started tomorrow. Give Christian a go.
Hughes and Warner should not be in the squad. Hughes is damaged goods now and Warner is a poster boy who shouldn't be playing test match cricket.
If all are available it's not who should be in but who else to leave out.
Watson
Khawaja
S. Marsh
Clarke
M Hussey
M Marsh
Wade
Siddle
Starc
Pattinson
Lyon
If Punter makes some big runs today it might save him.
Oh and BTW this thread (YOUR THREAD) is littered with possible replacements in the squad and opening the batting. I hope you're listening.

Our best side:
Watson
Cowen
Marsh
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Wade
Cutting
Pattinson
Siddle
Lyon
Hughes and Warner aren't ready. Khawaja has got to 50 once in 6 tests, people can pull themselves off over his technique all day long, he's gotta make runs. Go back and make a few more runs in Shield and come back when Punter retires.

It'll be the XI that played the New Zealand tests.

Surely some one will get injured before then.

Starc will get dropped surely

I'd agree...but for who? Cutting is out for the season, ditto Cummins and Harris is injured. Copeland MAYBE but jeez he has barely been getting wickets, Hazelwood is not ready!

Cutting isn't out for the season. Should be back playing early in the new year. He won't be ready for any test match cricket though.
God let's hope so. I think he has potential but looking at India's top 6 he will be nothing but cannon fodder. Especially if the ball doesn't swing.
Here's hoping Ryan Harris is fit

He hasn't troubled the Kiwis in the slightest. The Indians will absolutely rip him to pieces. Never should have been selected, has potential but so far off Test level ATM.
If we assume that Harris, Watson & Marsh will be fit for the Boxing Day test then it comes down to who scores the most runs out of Warner, Hughes & Khawaja..
Watson
Warner/Hughes/Khawaja
Marsh
Ponting
Clarke
Hussey
Haddin
Siddle
Harris
Pattinson
Lyon
Over the next 12-18 months expect Cummins to replace either Siddle or Harris, Hussey & Ponting to probably move on when a youngster shows some solid form & Haddin to be replaced by Wade.
We should have a fairly solid side in a few years with clarke back to being the weak link.

If Warner goes on with it tomorrow, you'd expect him to be retained for Boxing Day.

Yes so again I ask...if Starc goes out who comes in...and if you say Dan Christian I will slap you!

Why? He will break down in 2 minutes.

It could be George, Bollinger, Copeland, Hazelwood, Hilfenhaus or Faulkner??
Christian is an all rounder.
LukeParkerno1

George- LOL...you serious?
Bollinger- injured
Copeland- yes but he hasn't got many wickets in FC level this year.
Hazelwood- not ready.
Hilfy- normally I'd agree, but I don't see the point, it would be a backwards step.
Faulkner- just no, he is a better batsman than bowler.
Bucking Beads

I'd take any one of them over Starc at this point. LOLZ all you like.

I would take a bowler over your list. As I said I just cannot see who is better, and Starc has potential in Melbourne and Perth to do very well.
