AUSTRALIAS BEST 11

Post by JLC »

With the form of Bichel in the game against England it would be a bit harsh to drop him......so who misses out ??

Brett Lee - Unlikely

McGrath and Gilesppie - Obviously No

Brad Hogg - Adds variety

Lehmann - No

Bevan - No

Symonds - Unlikely

Martyn - Unlikely

So how will Bichel get a game ??

You have to drop Symonds if anyone, but in my opinion, Australia Shouldn't go in with 5 specialist bowlers. Although you could use Hogg as your No.1 allrounder, but in reality he has been picked as a bowler. But in my opinion the starting 11 should be:
Hayden
Gilchrist
Ponting
Martyn
Lehmann
Bevan
Hogg
Lee
Bichel
Gillespie
McGrath

12th Symonds

I agree with Fradam if anyone it unfortunately has to be Brett Lee. His figures last night weren't too great and I think that will go against him. You can't drop Bichel after his performance last night!

I can see us dropping Brett Lee for the 1st game of the super sixes if we're playing Kenya, then after that Bichel will give way for him

Its not so long ago that Brett Lee was the hero of the one day series in Australia!!! Its a tough call really.

Im sure Damien is safe for a while yet as he is well well overdue for a score against a quality team.

Symonds can live off that innings for a while longer....lol lol

I'd like to toss a name up for consideration, probably for our one-day team for the Windies tour or this summer season's VB series.

JOHN DAVISON.

Interesting?
