If I was picking the side I would have Bollinger in there. Johnson just hasn't been at home from what I have watched of this series.

And what throw away M Hussey? Clarke? Jaques? Symonds? You gotta be joking. Looks like someone who's watched a bit too much IPL and now thinks these players are incredible

LOL you have to be joking. Haddin can consistently score Hundreds in FC cricket and score well in One days. He was averaging around 60 this season in FC cricket halfway through this season.
Just because Ronchi is a mindless slogger doesn't mean he is good. Haddin can score at a 100% strike rate and still play sensibly.
And if you are going to reply to this saying Ronchi is a better keeper then Haddin then I reccemond you actually watch Domestic cricket this year.
The first thing you have to look at is keeping when picking a keeper and Haddin is the best in Australia, then you gotta look at batting. He was in the top 15 batters in Australia domestic cricket last season.
We want to pick a keeper who can bat (haddin) not a batter who can keep (ronchi)
Maybe for the 20twenty team or the ODI team. As for Ronchi i'm quite happy he's there. I like his style except for the inconsistency part but i don't expect anything brilliant. I would laugh if ends up being called Boom Boom Ronchi....

I want Australia, to be a west Australia, and Queensland side, thus Ronchi is better

We would lose every game. The Australian side is made of players from New South Wales.

Good news for the West Indies Smith has been dropped for the 3rd test and Chattergoon has been recalled after missing the 1st 2 tests with a shoulder injury. Gayle has been named as captain and not surprisingly Sulieman Benn is the only spinner selected (bad choice). Also a surprise but a good one in my eyes Kemar Roach made it into the 14 man squad but he probably wont get to play.
The squad is looking good but it will be interesting what they do with Marshall and Chattergoon.

Damn Johnson. No suprises though.
Luckily we have 3 other part timers to pick up the slack should these two fail. Katich needs to bowl more, he grabbed a 6 fer in the tour match.

I don't think it is about how Casson goes, it is more how Ponting uses him. Throw him on with a few overs left in the session or help him by bowling to the tail. Cause if the West Indies get on top I would still want Casson with the ball in his hand.
