Australian Prelimanary squad of 30

There's no way McGrath will miss out. He's had a great CB series so far. Bowled brilliantly in every game bar one, and in that one he bowled two great overs at the death.

Tait isn't ahead of Hilfenhaus IMO. He's being given a chance because he's a bit of a death specialist, but if say Clark and Bracken killed each other in a knife fight tomorrow, Hilfenhaus would get the nod first.

but if say Clark and Bracken killed each other in a knife fight tomorrow,

Only Fuller would use that hypothetical.

I'll give you 500-1 odds that McGrath goes to the World Cup, injury permitting.

I'd take those odds thanks.

Would he?

Also on the assumption that Symonds is unavailable, and that despite the fact that i disagree with it, Hayden has probably done enough to warrant selection in the selectors eyes.
