Australian U-30 Team

irfan

State Captain
Who would you pick for an Australian Test team if you're limited to players aged under 30 years.

Had a stab at this, and twas' harder than imagined.

1. P Jaques
2. T Birt
3. M North
4. M Clarke (c)
5. S Watson
6. D Thornely
7. L Ronchi (k)
8. C White
9. M Johnson
10. B Hilfenhaus
11. S Tait
12th man J Hopes

Most contentious spot was that of the spinner. With Bailey, Cullen, Doherty, Heal, Krejza etc. not having done enough or being terribly inconsistent, I decided to go with Cam White who would be just as (in)effective with the ball but adds a lot more on the batting forefront.
 

NUFAN

Y no Afghanistan flag
1 P Jaques
2 S Watson
3 M Cosgrove
4 M Clarke
5 A Voges
6 C White
7 L Ronchi
8 M Johnson
9 S Magoffin
10 B Hilfenhaus
11 S Tait

G Bailey, L Pomersbach, D Cullen, A Heal, A McDonald, J Hopes, T Birt, D Bollinger, D Thornley would all be close to making the team.

BARNES OUT
He was also handed the whole team bar Mason, really. Considering he took over after O'Meley was signed, and wouldn't have even gotten Mason if the Dogs didn't sack him. itstl.

But this is way OT, so I'll end it here.

Bond21, you remind me of slinkies - Not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

Didn't pick Voges or Cosgrove as they haven't been consistent enough over a number of seasons.
