A little radical, however my 3rd Test XI:
1.
Hayden (Jaques breathing down his neck)
2.
Langer
3.
Ponting
4.
Hussey
5.
Clarke
6.
Gilchrist (after his ton in Adelaide
)
7.
Lee (his batting ave is 43.75 over last 5-tests)
8.
Warne
9.
Clark
10.
MacGill
11.
McGrath
It's supposed to be a road so why do you need more batting than the top 6 above. After all, Gilchrist, Lee & Warne at # 6-8 are better than Flintoff, Jones & Giles
[As I said a bit radical & I'm sure they'll go Watson at # 6, with Lee or MacGill to carry the drinks]
