Yeah it doesn't look a great side, but remember 31 of our best players not are not included.

We've also had a stack of retirements recently, and most of the new talent actually made the 30 man squad, players such as Bailey, Paine et al.

Someone who I did forget was Andy Bichel, he'd probably get a run ahead of Siddle.

IMO Magoffin is very underrated. Nannes is a good one day bowler, McGain was leading wicket tacker last year.

If I picked a side away from the best XI of:
Hayden
Watson
Ponting
Clarke
Symonds
Hussey
Haddin
Hopes
Lee
Johnson
Bracken

My 2nd XI
Marsh
Hopes
Hodge
Katich
D Hussey
White
Ronchi
Noffke
Hauritz
Tait
Clark

It's pretty tough to even know who the best XI currently are.
I would like Hayden to retire from ODIs really, so if that happened Marsh would move up and Jaques would move into the 2nd team.

Well **** me. Wouldn't have had him near it personally, suppose it shows the lack of experienced depth in the WK department. I would've thought even Crosswaithe would be there ahead of him.

Cudgen Cricket Club's 1st Grade XI

It would go something like this

1. Terry Wilson ('The Gnome')
2. Chad Harvey ('Harvs')
3. Craig Wilson ('Hubba')
4. Heath Wilson ('Keithy')
5. Lowey ('Lowey')
6. Jamie Wilson ('Stepchild')
7. Chris Moase ('Mocca')
8. Mick Anderson ('Ando')
9. Lee Stevenson ('Red Dog')
10. Josh Caligiari ('Calimari')
11. Jason Wilson ('Flash')

Trouble being that you can't really know who'd go and who wouldn't, so you can't really name a "XI of players who would go".

In any case, England First XIs in ODIs are depressing enough - the fact that a Second XI would probably be stronger (if selected by me, rather than the selectors, that is) makes it just too depressing to contemplate.

I would take the emerging aussie academy give them some experience,they had a wonderful emerging series,and has lots of talent.

Hmm sorry mate but if you're reffering to those who played in the emerging players tournament I'd have to disagree. They did very well, thats for sure but they lost to NZ emerging players (not even an NZ A side really, though many will make it in), and lining them up against full stength ODI sides, especially top teams like India, SA, NZ and Sri Lanka, they would probably get destroyed. You have to ask the question: Can these guys match it with Murali, Steyn, Kallis, KP etc? If its a no, then you should probably just field the best team possible, not the AIS side.

Now that I've said that the AIS will go and win the tournament.

Presuming not all England players will go, how likely, in your opinion, is it that we'll get Plunkett and Mahmood is the same bowling attack?

Though I can't say much, I think I might cry if Chris Martin and Iain O'Brien open up for NZ in ODIs.

brockley · 03-08-2008, 07:33 PM

If according to dan cullen's attititude of the 30 man squad,we maybe sending an AIS squad or equivalent side to the trophy.
Michel deighton would be a good inclusion,wonder how playing on a UK passprt last season effects his chances.
Sajid and plunkett

drain of runs you could only afford 1 of them.

Yeah England's first team is fairly rubbish. 2nd team could be better TBH.

For Australia
1. Hughes
2. Dighton
3. Pomersbach
4. Bailey
5. Katich (c)
6. Voges
7. Hopes
8. Paine
9. McGain
10. Siddle
11. Geeves

Not sure if its this season or the next that he becomes available. But given that McCullum seems increasingly eager to cast himself as a specialist, it honestly can't come soon enough.

Who knows, and frankly, who cares?
