I am starting to really worry for Australia.

Why Brad Hogg isn't there and four seamers are used I don't know. He is needed without Michael Clarke as well imo.

Sibanda looks like he is still playing for Strathfield against Macquarie Uni or Auburn.
The answer is quite simple, no one expected the pitch to be this slow or good for slow bowlers.

Clark will get hammered, Johnson is **** aswell, they should get symons to bowl some seamers

When spin bowlers have been the most successful in twenty20 it seems dumb to me not to pick a bloke who is one of the best spinners in odis and also an excellent fieldsman and good lower order batsman.

Johnson or Clark ahead of Hogg is deplorable selection imo.

Yes, but Hogg got absolutely slaughtered in the warm-ups. Absolutely slaughtered. Something like 51 off his 3 overs in one match. I think you can see why his non-selection was justified.

I know that this is only a short amount of cricket we've had today but what have Australia been doing for the last few months?

Guess that's the advantage for the sides who are coming into the tournament directly after their domestic season.

Hodge picked up some valuable wickets for Victoria last year in twenty20's, he lead them to the trophy in the end... he should be captain for this tourniment!
