Message: [QUOTE="Bucking Beads, post: 2520855, member: 2210"] I am certainly in the camp of picking our best and most likely to succeed at test level and let them develop in test matches. The problem is identifying that talent and getting the balance right. Rogers and Warner for mine should be our openers for the summer Ashes and South Africa tours coming up. Obviously if form is absolutely terrible changes to be made. Finding a number 3 is the hard part. Khawaja and Hughes just haven't shown enough to suggest they will develop. Both are absolutely terrible against spin. Clarke obviously stays in the side. Watson goes and I think he can stick to being a shot form specialist. We've got 2 middle order spots to fill plus the keeper position. We are pretty sweet for bowlers but we need to keep them on the park. Lyon is good enough at what he does until Agar gets a bit more bowling under his belt although I'm not against keeping him in the side permanently as a spinner. I think we need to find a first drop and a 5 and 6 batsmen plus pick a keeper that is going to be the rock which you build a team around. Either back Paine or Wade and be done with it. Picking Hartley would be ideal because he still has 4 years left in him easily maybe more but we all know it won't happen. [/QUOTE]
