Well, some news that could influence your decision. Harmison didn't play in the warm-up match and Watson and Martyn are injured.

 

[Abhas]

are watson and martyn likely to miss the 1st test???

 

[ZexyZahid]

I've got no idea yet. But it's written here:

[aussie1st]

I've added Michael Clarke as a batsmen.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Hussey is making miserable scores lately, also in domestic cricket, and Bell and Collingwood hit runs. Maybe I will replace him with one of these two guys.
