If your 1st-string team doesn't go to the Ch Trophy, who would you replace them with?

[Nnanden]

Assuming the regular eleven that played against the Windies were not available, I'd go

Shaun Marsh
Phil Jaques
Michael Dighton
David Hussey
Adam Voges (c)
Luke Pomersbach
Luke Ronchi (wk)
Ashley Noffke
Aaron Heal
Brett Geeves
Ben Hilfenhaus

Marcus North unlucky.

[James90]

By that logic Hayden in for Marsh.

[/pedantic]

[Nnanden]

That, that that, that, that don't kill me...

Some of those players are in the top 30 though. I would take that squad however.

Yeah I know, just took the thread title literally.

Good looking teams.
I think deighton is a real smokey out of the 30.he really was the top one day batsmen last year,unlucky not to be in the 30.
Its really hard to know where the players are at cullen gives the impression that the 30 are out as all 30 are out,but not all would feel the same.
I would be happy we send a weaker squad get a chance to blood some youngsters.

This is my 2nd XI squad out of the 30 preliminary players, i think every player who is new on the scene would find such a good opportunity too good to deny.

[Nnanden]

Could say a lot of things. Will just reflect on Hopes above Voges. (face)

Who opens in your first XI then?

[Nnanden]

Hayden and Stuart Clark iirc.

[GIMH]

Could do worse

Nice side. Not at all comfortable with Ryder as captain though! Franklin maybe?

[brockley]

Whens the NZ tour to pakistan?

By all accounts, Franklin's almost as much of an egomaniac as Ryder is, and he's not exactly the brightest bulb in the factory either. If he were available I'd go with van Wyk as a captain, as even though he's not played internationally, he's had plenty of experience captaining Canterbury for a couple of season's now.

Very harsh. Jimmy at least has the good sense not to be a retard and comes across as a nice guy in the media. Hasn't bitten back at all the **** he gets for his ODI bowling from the public either. McMillan, Parore would have fired a volley back by now and I suspect Ryder could do that too.
