Inspired by Monk's thread.

Harris is supposed to be fit for the Gabba so he'll open with Johnson, but who should be the other quick in the lineup?

Siddle with near 200 wickets bowls tirelessly and is good in home conditions, perfect foil for the "I can only bowl 4 over spells" bowlers in Harris, Johnson and Pattinson (if he comes back)

I get the feeling Hazlewood is there or there abouts in the minds of the selectors. You're not going to push Johnson or Harris off the new pill, so I'm unsure how useful Chadd would be in that role (as much as I like the guy). I honestly wouldn't mind Behrendorff. Kid can bowl.

Don't mind too much who is the third bowler in the lineup provided Rhino and Mitch are fit for the majority of the series.

Where's Jackson Bird these days?
As Riggins said, he has had two long-term injuries since the Ashes - he's only really played T20's (which surprising success) since then. He's apparently close to a comeback, though I'm not sure if he'll be ready for the First Test. If he is (i.e. plays Shield cricket in the lead-up), he'd be my pick. Otherwise, I'd plump for Hazlewood.

Anyone except Siddy the lionheart, I'd prefer twatto and marshy share the duties and play an extra batsman cos batting just sucks balls

Apo pls.

Urrr no. Let's not get even funkier than the complete funk up we've just witnessed.

3 best quicks and a spinner.

I think Siddle has earned the right to play the first Test at the Gabba, but yeah if he is non-threatening and finishes two completed innings with 2-fa or something ordinary I'm prepared to listen to other options. If Harris and Pattinson were both fit and firing Sid would be under more pressure, but they aren't.

As for possible alternatives, I would definitely go for Hazlewood over Starc by the way. I really think that Starc needs a bit more bowling for NSW.
