murali, way to bring up controversy... fortunately I don't think there's many Sri Lankans on hereI don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!0

Don't get carried away Aussies yes our batsmen have had a shocker in these 2 tests but our bowling has been quality and your not gonna play us in those conditions , and your own teams faults are still very much there.0

let's see where we all are in 15 months time, the Aussies are on the way up, except maybe Shawn Marsh who is on his way outI don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!0

So what would you do then?
Prior at 6
Broad 7
Swan 8
Anderson 9
Tremlett 10
Monty 11
You'd want to make sure the top order fired up... even though 7 and 8 are more than capable and Jimmy can handle the willow...Sydney 11/02/2003

saying all that i would still drop morgan and put ravi in for the last test
kp 17 runs in 4 innings is not good
tremlett out for last test so i guess finn will play
its as if we are making a place for morgan as he WILL come good soon...but will he<img src="http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/tremors25/thefixerthrilla1.gif" align="left">

But Strauss is out of form too isn't he?
England are treating Finn like the Messiah but he struggles to make a test...
Aussie quicks are competing for 3 spots... so good to watch...
And I know Cook had a great series against us, but he cant open and bat 5Sydney 11/02/2003

Finn isn't in the team because of the form of the others(he'd be in the aussie team as would monty) .
Broad is nowhere near being a test match no 6 , we lost these 2 games because no's 4 5 and 6 are in horrendous nick , it also showed how poor most modern batsmen's defensive techniques are.0 -

From what I saw of Finn, he would not be in the Aussie team at the moment... Who you going to knock out? Siddle, Hilfenhaus, Harris, Pattinson... No way...
And I haven't seen Monty for a while, but a good chance... I do think Lyon will come good though...Sydney 11/02/2003

this is why i would put broad at 6...give them a kick up the bum and he score at a good rate<img src="http://i740.photobucket.com/albums/xx46/tremors25/thefixerthrilla1.gif" align="left">

Interesting... If we were to combine England and Australia on current form... this is what I will have...
What I am basing my opinion on is me watching the aussie series and a shit load of the first test between england and pakistan
Cook
Warner (Strauss misses out, but if he makes a hundred soon he can have this spot)
Trott
Ponting
Clarke
Prior (would have Hussey, but going to run out of room)
Swann
Siddle
Pattinson
Anderson
Hilfenhaus
Sharing the drinks

In the long term this might be good because the thought of morgan facing Steyn and Morkel in the summer gives me nightmares :!: , Broad might get up to no 7 in the future ,you wonder what's happened to kp against spin (remember how he played warne and chuckalitharan at the start of his test career).0

To be fair Clarke's form with the bat has been brilliant since he was made skipper but Broad should be on that list he's been superb in this series.0
