Squad for Aussie tour of India

we've often thought you sleep type S!!

I think this is a good Australian squad. Apart from 4 players, everyone will play his first test in India, if given a chance. But debutants have always excelled against India and that should be no trouble.

McGain's selection is a bit surprising but he had the India A batsmen in trouble on a difficult pitch which was offereing grip. So if India prepares turning tracks (which I highly doubt) than he will be handy.

A dust bowl?

FFS, if they pick Watson over Fleas, the NSP needs a good slappin'.

If this were to happen, Fleas would just about have to be the first man to be dropped twice from a Test side after scoring a ton.

look at his average average, his failures under pressure and all those dropped catches

Who is NSP?

National Selection Panel

Thanks MB. Do you think any of the new seamers will get a chance?

Not unless there is at least two injuries

Fair enough.

You don't think we can win the series then?

Well I hope Krejza does not get near the team. And I think McGain would do an OK job. Casson should have been in though.

But we won last time when our quicks did most of the winning for us. And I think our batting is stronger. Whereas I think India are a worse team overall than they were last time.

So I don't know why everyone is so doom and gloom. We have as good of a chance as we ever have.

Well, we don't have to win it. I think we may be able to sneak a win if fair wickets are presented, but if Bhajji and Jumbo friendly crumblies are served up, we don't have the artillery to match them in the spin dept.

I'll take 1-1.
