My Bowling is struggling. Using Rofe(Test and ODI), Johnson(Squad), Watson(Test and ODI), McDonald(Test and ODI), Tait(Test and ODI), Hauritz(Squad), Clark(Squad), Flaven(Youth) and White(ODI). Averaging around 30 for everyone. Tait and McDonald are my best bowlers at the moment, averaging 28 this season.

Are there any bowlers that are good enough for test level? Or should I wait for youths?

You have to wait for the youths.... tait is true test quality, but the rest are utter rubbish.

With finding youths in icc 06, the system works this way: the quality of the youths is based on the quality you have at the moment as a nation. So, aus have poor quality bowlers atm, so the regens will mostly suck. But if you reload and reload and get one good one, your regens from then on will be slightly better. If you get enough good ones, EVERY SINGLE YEAR you will have 2-3 quality regens come through. So start with 1 and work your way up :) thats if you like to cheat (you wont get ANY quality otherwise with australia).

But if you have to stick with the players at your current disposal, Tait is your undisputed leader of the attack in tests. Rofe strugges for me with everything (not economical or wicket taking) but unfortuantly there isnt much to pick from so you may be stuck with him. Bracken can be useful to plug an end and soak up runs whilst Tait unleashes at the other end, if hes still around in your game. Watson is a useful extra paceman for picking up important wickets, but struggles if you use him all the time. Hodge can be a useful part timer spinner, there isnt many spinners to choose from so he may well be your best bet, until he retires. White isnt useful as a spinner in tests at all. For tests i'd settle with Tait, Bracken, Rofe, Watson, Hodge and a youth bowler of your choice.

ODI's are harder.... i use White as a makeshift opener, he averages 44 for me up there from 90 games :) Hes only used as a part time bowler...Watson is good for smashing wickets, but not economy. Tait is someone who wildly inconsistant, he seems to either go for 80 runs or pick up 4 wickets, some days he'll win or lose the match. White is a good backup when hes losing the match for you. Id settle on Bracken, Rofe, Tait, Mcdonald (for his batting), Watson and white. Plenty of bowling options, good for when things go wrong (as they often do :( ).

Dont forget about Wise, he can be really good sometimes, hes always in my squad and once won me an ashes series single-handedly. A good option for tests and ODI's, if you dont want to use bracken.
