Picking Hilfenhaus in the ashes squad wouldn"t be the worst selection at all. The last time he played the ashes in England he was by far the best Oz bowler.The condition does suit his bowling.Pattinson Starc Siddle Harris Hilfenhaus ( ofcourse Bird may beat him into the squad).Depends on the number of pacers they decide to take though.Faulkner despite being a very good short form option shouldn"t be anywhere near the test team.Henriques should be ahead of Faulkner as the test all rounder( if an all rounder is needed in England).Smith should have been given a contract on the basis that he will be in the first ashes test, and his improvement in his batting should mean he"ll be in the short formats as well.Khawaja and. Smith should have been given contracts.Nice to see Cummins on that list too, easily the most exciting prospect in Australia since Glenn Mc Grath.
