Watson's highest average is as an opener.

I think it will be:

Rogers
Warner
Marsh
Smith
Burns
Watson
Haddin
Johnson
Harris
Hazlewood
Lyon

Starc 12th

This was a harsh call on Cowan by the selectors, but I guess he's still in the frame for The Ashes if Burns doesn't kick on.

by Nath Sun 21 Dec 2014, 20:17

apparently Lehmann doesn't rate him.

by lardbucket Sun 21 Dec 2014, 20:28

I heard that too. He's going to have to make another 3-4 centuries this Shield season to be 'irresistible' and get on that tour.

by Bradman Sun 21 Dec 2014, 20:53

Well there's room for another batsman in an Ashes squad if they take these 12 plus Marsh as a given.

by lardbucket Sun 21 Dec 2014, 21:00

Aye, but I think Lehmann has set a higher bar for Cowan. I think Carters is likely if he maintains his current progress; and he does play for NSW after all!

by skully Sun 21 Dec 2014, 21:02

2nded.

by Red Sun 21 Dec 2014, 23:03

Cowan's cards might already be marked although he could be a good foil for the likes of Warner if Rogers somehow is considered not up to the mark for the Ashes.

Get Carters and Handscombe should be Monty's for pomgolia...with Fork instead of Clotto and Wade for Haddit

by Bradman Sun 21 Dec 2014, 23:24

Actually I forgot about rodgers.

by horace Sun 21 Dec 2014, 23:37

by horace Mon 22 Dec 2014, 01:07

well haddit certainly is not....missed 3 chances in two tests

by Bradman Mon 22 Dec 2014, 02:00

Need cover for Sean too.

by horace Mon 22 Dec 2014, 02:41

doubt Shawn the Sheep will go to the Ashes, hence Carters and Hanscombe

According to the nooz tonight, Boof has put Haddit on notice. Sounds like if he doesnt perform in the next test he's gone.

I don't see it. He would have to get a hometown farewell Test.

by Henry Mon 22 Dec 2014, 09:15

It's not like Haddin is a great player though. He wouldn't really warrant a farewell test.

by Nath Mon 22 Dec 2014, 09:51

News Alert: Axar Patel to replace injured Ravindra Jadeja for the last two Tests in Australia.

Didn't realise Jadeja was injured?
