Bracken is not longer injured, let's see how Siddle bowls tonight before for some unknown reason we class him as "expensive" and how is Hussey at all a slow scorer?

That would be my batting lineup with White and Ferguson waiting in the wings. IMO the best we can put on the park at the moment. Notice no Clarke so either Haddin or Hodge to be captain. Finally it's also quite a flexible lineup with many opening combinations.

Bowling is more dubious. Does Tait deserve a chance? Siddle certainly doesn't and with Lee and Hilfen both injured, the stocks are low.

U19 Vice-Captain
Hussey a slow scorer? Doesn't he hold the record for the fastest T20 century ever? Anyways, there are a lot of people who will unfortunately miss out, but I would say;

Watson
Warner
Hodge
Clarke (wouldn't be my first choice but being realistic here)
M. Hussey
White
Haddin
S. Smith
Johnson
Bracken
Tait

  • Brad Hodge
  • Dave Hussey

Worth a shot.

Give Watto rest. Being a hunky all-round god and dynamo in the sack will be taking it's toll.

P Hughes, S Smith, P Siddle, D Bollinger

Siddle got a pretty good eco at T20 level 6.8. Bollinger record at T20 level isn't great but should a lot of promise during the CLT20.

Haddin doesn't have a great T20 record, but apart from one innings either has Paine. Apart from Crosthwaite no keeper warrants a spot based on pure T20 records and well he hasn't played FC cricket this season.

Toss up between Smith and Dussey for the 2nd spinners spot. Would back Smith slightly more at International level.

Anyone who thinks Mussey can't bat a T20 level didn't watch the first season of the IPL or follow his county effects in that format.

There is nothing Watto can't do, give him the captaincy.

Interestingly, the Victorian heirarchy doesn't really rate Siddle in Twenty20 cricket, although I believe that his record in it isn't all that bad.
