There's been some discussion about this, but I figured this deserved a thread of its own, assuming it doesn't already have one (I couldn't find it at least), as the matches kick off fairly soon.
The Australia 'A' squad is: Brad Haddin (capt), Michael Hussey (vice-capt), Nathan Bracken, Stuart Clark, Phil Jaques, Dominic Thornely, Daniel Cullen, Shaun Tait, Brad Hodge, Michael Lewis, Cameron White, James Hopes, Shane Watson, Marcus North.
The first of the four FC games begins on the 11th, which is actually before the Ashes finishes, so we can assume that Tait and probably Hodge won't be involved, which might actually leave the team a bit short for players.
Personally, I'm looking most closely at Bracken and Cullen with the ball (and Tait when he shows up), and Hussey, Jaques and Watson with the bat as I think those guys are the most likely to be drafted in to the Australian team in the near future.
