****. Just remember who I had actually wanted to select. I was partially so irritated before becuase I'd thought of someone besides Gooch last night when I went to bed, but had forgotten who. Just remembered, but no way he'll last til my next selection.****. Whatever. Did go back, but somehow missed that. Give me Younis Khan and if he's unavailable just give me ****ing Floyd Reifer.

Can't see it myself. Bloke's 34 already. He's a quality performer, but can think of two Aussie openers not yet picked who I'd have taken above him in a flash. Not that Katto being picked is a travesty or anything, just not who'd I'd have gone for so soon.Na I dont think so. Katich is an awesome player. He will end up being one of the best openers to ever play for Australia.
****. Just remember who I had actually wanted to select. I was partially so irritated before becuase I'd thought of someone besides Gooch last night when I went to bed, but had forgotten who. Just remembered, but no way he'll last til my next selection.
and there we go.I'll take Gary Kirsten
He was the tenth highest run scorer for the 90s and as opener (in 9 tests) he did extremely well, including averaging 61 against the WIndies at their peak over 6 tests. It is a bit of a stretch, but I like Boon ahead of any of the other openers from the 90s short of Gooch.BTW, on openers, I've just noticed Boon is opening for the 90 banned list. Bit of a stretch to have Keg as an opener?
