Message: [QUOTE="Major JW Hochstetter, post: 2344237, member: 1828"] From all reports in recent days, Harris looks very likely to be in the squad. The selectors may also name an extended squad to please the critics, but obviously they'll only pick their pets in the final XI. If I had my way, my team for the Gabba would be: 1. Watson 2. Katich 3. Ponting 4. Khawaja (or Smith/Ronald at No. 6 in his place) 5. Clarke 6. Hussey 7. Haddin 8. Johnson 9. Hilfenhaus 10. Harris 11. Bollinger I'd go for more specialists for the Gabba - that's assuming Clarke and Katich are OK to share the spinning duties if some spin is even needed. Otherwise, I'd have Smith or even a slow-medium all-rounder like Ronald come in for Khawaja. Blokes on their last warning to perfom or get cut for the 2nd Test would be Huss and Johnson. Their replacements would be Ferguson (or Hughes if he gets his act together) and one of the NSW quicks. I'd consider permanently ending Hauritz's role as our main spinner as well in favour of someone more attacking, but that won't happen. Hopefully he can at least keep it tight. I'd thank North for his infrequent contributions to the team, wish him all the best for the rest of his career with WA and kindly show him the door before he saves himself with another random century or 1-for with the ball. If Peter Siddle is selected I will lose my shit. [/QUOTE]
