Re: South Africa in Australia
Can't see Hopes getting dropped, hasn't done a lot wrong and I can't see the Australian selectors picking four genuine fast bowlers. Despite Johnson playing that would leave the tail a bit weak and a lot of the sides now bat down to numbers eight and nine meaning more opportunity to score runs (e.g Albie Morkel). I'd leave him there, all Hopes has to do is score at a run a ball, if he could get 25 off 25 and take one or two wickets per game his job is well and truly done.
Hauritz is shit, don't rate him as a bowler at all. South Africa would love to see Hauritz in the side, Duminy, Kallis and Albie Morkel would take great delight in facing the Jesters Jaffle pies that Hauritz sends down. David Hussey does a reasonable job with the ball anyway and there's also Clarke to come back into the side, he will also bowl a few overs if a specialist spinner is not selected.
What I'd like to see is the selectors take a chance on one of the younger spinners, Aaron Heal or Xavier Doherty and play them. Both are pretty good one-day bowlers and are in decent form, why not give them a go? Even if they don't play against South Africa, blooding them against New Zealand would be the way to go, even more so if the final game or games are dead rubbers.
We'll probably see something like this,
Marsh
Warner
*Ponting
DJ Hussey
MEK Hussey
White
+Haddin
Hopes
Johnson
Bracken
Tait
What I'd like to see,
Marsh
+Gilchrist
*North
Pomersbach
Voges
Langer
+Ronchi
Johnson
Heal
Magoffin
Dorey
Okay, for real this time,
Marsh
Warner
*Ponting
DJ Hussey
MEK Hussey
North
+Haddin
Johnson
Heal/Doherty
Bracken
Tait

Re: South Africa in Australia
Young and inexperienced side struggled on a shit of a pitch, SA lost due to their gameplan, much different
Anyway I notice the moron selectors have refused to release Hussey and White for the prelim, only logical explanation would be the GABBA is so shit right now they are worried about an injury, but really a week off and the next game in Sydney, not Perth or anything and they wont let em play, pathetic

Re: South Africa in Australia
I think White needs to do a more consistent job with the bat in ODI's to hold down a place, sure he made a few runs in the T20 but so far that hasn't translated into ODI form.

Re: South Africa in Australia
My team would be the exact same as postman pav's team except i would rather hilfy instead of hauritz. I reckon the South Africans would target hauritz and would probably get smashed. I like Hilfy alot to.
Johnson
Hilfenhaus
Bracken
Tait
is a fair boling attack.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Disagree sorry. He is a very good opener in the shorter format him amd Marsh have opened together before and took attacks apart in the IPL. I think he could do a very good job opening the batting. And this option will be considered if Warner can't hit some runs in the next 2 games.

Re: South Africa in Australia
I think it will be rather interesting to see how Johnson goes in the odis.
Personally I hope he gets hit to all parts.
I think Hopes should be picked over Hauritz I don't know why everyone dislikes him so much.
If the bowling attack had Johnson, Bracken and Hopes there is 3 bowlers the proteas will stuggle to hit for runs. If Hauritz is in there then there are 2 and if Mitchel Johnson gets belted then it will be very tough for Australia to win.
Hopes over Hauritz IMO.

Re: South Africa in Australia
You must be joking.
Surely a poster of your knowledge and maturity would include the worlds best ODI bowler in that lineup?
M.Clarke is ruled out of the ODI series also.
Warner in as Clarke succumbs to injury - Cricket - Sport - theage.com.au
Unless that article is telling untruths of course.....

Re: South Africa in Australia
I don't mind that line-up Breeno but depending on the pitch i would like a spinner (I don't think D.Hussey & White count).

Re: South Africa in Australia
The article is correct
Hilfenhaus is out for the Aussies, Harris back to QLD and Johnson into the 12, otherwise same side from Hobart

Those are some pretty impressive figures. Heal's having a great summer so far and will only get better. A real chan ce to play one-day cricket for Australia in the next couple of seasons as is Xavier Doherty from Tasmania.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Warner for me could be a massive over hyped kid that will just faid into obscurity. Sure the 20-20 innings was just awesome but I don't believe he deserved a chance at the 50 over game straight away. He is young, little first class cricket games and there are people in front of him from other states.
Klinger, Carseldine, Hodge, North........
Poor kid the media has wrecked his career, just completely wrecked it.

Re: South Africa in Australia
Don't credit them with having balls for picking him, when he has only been a fringe player who only played tour games for something like three tours in a row!
Duminy wouldn't have played though if Prince hadn't have broken his thumb!Jolldo87;314874 said:
