It's freakish. I defy anyone to say he is not the greatest spinner who has played the game. |
It's not too late (for Gillespie to be selected). He's only 30. It's up to him. He's got to be bowling how he was before the Ashes and we've got to make a judgment on that. |
Justin is back in the squad subject to fitness. It was a logical decision for us to have him back in the team, particularly given his record and seniority within the group. |
Let's face it. If you have a look at our one-day batting lineup, who's going to be left out? |
Martyn has had some time out of the team and we feel this is the right time to slot him back in at number four. |
Maybe in the long-term it would be a concern but we're confident Adam can assume the role short-term without any ill-effects. |
Michael Bevan has been a wonderful player for Australia over many years, particularly in the one-day arena, |
Michael has been bowling fractionally better than Jason but it could have been an either-or call. He's been doing well in all sorts of conditions and is ready after losing form in England. Shaun offers that bit of oomph and if required he can provide some extra punch. |
Mick is a quality bowler. We saw in New Zealand at the back end of last year that he can be really effective at the end of an innings. Given the opportunity to play we're confident he'll do a good job. |
Now that he is fit and playing again, he is going to be seriously considered. |
Obviously it's a concern to him, it's a concern to everybody, but he's not the only one at the moment either. It just so happens that Matthew's stats keep getting thrown up. That he hasn't scored a hundred in so many Tests. |
Phil Jaques is held in high regard and will be on standby should he be required. |
Shane Watson returns to the side following his shoulder injury, and we?re keen for him to build on his impressive performances during the Johnnie Walker Super Series. |
Simon's form has not been what he expects of himself and we felt it was time to give someone else an opportunity, |
Stuart has done everything asked of him when he's been included in the Test team and continued to push his cause with several fine performances for New South Wales. |
