Exactly. Will Hopes, Dussey and Clarke somehow make up 8 overs? Or is Watson going to bowl?

Indeed.
As I said in the other thread, it's only 20 overs. The seventh batsman only averages something like 12 runs per innings in T20Is so far.. but the fifth bowler is just as important as the first bowler. Hopes is vastly over-rated as a Twenty20 player in general, Watson will be undedone as far as bowling goes, and I've officially made the leap into taking Twenty20 cricket seriously enough to start commenting on selection regularly.

Can Watson bowl yet? I heard here that he can, but he didn't in the warm-ups IIRC.
EDIT: Lol, answered before asked.

Yeah. That was my first thought when I saw the Aussie line up.

I would go with the more tactile sensation of strangling personally.Looking forward to this, as it won't leave me looking to stab someone

No specialist spinner a bit of a surprise in the format too. Suppose Clarke and Hussey minor will dish up some part-time stuff, but spinners always seem to do well in 2020s up here.
Would've played Hauritz for Hopes, myself.

AW YEAH!
With Hauritz or even Siddle over Hopes, the balance would be fantastic.
The batting line-up looks first-class tonight though. C'mon lads!

For a side that complains about the cold, the Windies certainly seemed worried enough about the sun to have everyone donning the sunnies.

Hope the real West Indies turn up, will be a good game if they do.

No logic behind selecting Hopes as a specialist bowler. Siddle or Hauritz would be a much smarter pick.
What can Hopes really achieve from number 8 that Johnson and Lee cannot?
Game on though. Looking forward to a good contest. If Australia lose, then I'm fine, love the West Indies.

Don't really have an anthem TBH.Australia the only country so far to have all players proudly singing the anthem.
