Fair enough. But any state that has Redback Bitter as there main brand of beer cannot be the greatest state in the land. Even Very Bad is better than Redback Bitter.

The color of immortality, nature and envy - you are truly a unique person. While clearly the color of nature, you also symbolize rebirth, fertility and hope in the world. On the other side of the spectrum, a natural aptitude to money with green coming to signify money and possibly even *********!

Obviously you've never been here if you think Redback Bitter is our 'main beer'. That, by extension, renders you opinion on anything SA null and void.

By the way, Coopers and West End would be the main beers here. Not that I drink but no-one I know drinks Redback.

VB is 2nd last behind Redback Bitter.

good to see someone agreeing with me on this point at least, Hodge would definately make a better OD option that Katich surely.....

I'd go for

Langer
Hayden
Ponting
Katich
Clarke
Watson
Gilchrist
Warne
Lee
McGrath
Tait
true about Katich being a normal top-order bat but i dunno i'm just feeling a bit uncomfortable with him batting at 4 in the super test at least, i say give Hodge a go... & also MaCgilla could well & play but i've heard that in October the balls swings a bit at the SCG so well see what happens.

in conditions that suit him which is likely to be the case at the SCG, he is world class....

If it does there's only going to be one winner and it ain't the Ashes also-rans.

I don't see why really. Assuming the World XI picks Pollock, Shoaib and Flintoff as their seamers, if there's swing around I'd say it would help McGrath and Lee just as much.

What Australia don't particularly want is a flat pitch that turns as the game goes on, because Murali and Kumble will have a field day.

That actually changes the issue somewhat... I somehow forgot he wasn't playing, and with the high chance of Macgill playing a turner might be nice. A fairly lively early-season wicket is likely though, and I don't think we'll be seeing a six day test.
