Picking Casson was a great choice. Hes going to dominate on West Indies pitches.
Wrong Casson can spin the ball...
Seriously, what a joke. This peice of crap played better Cricket for WA, then goes to NSW and gets way overrated. Gee, if you want to play Test Cricket for Australia all you need to do is jump states.
Read the above post Syl. You are kidding yourself if you think that going to NSW doesn't mean you are 100 times more likely to get a baggy. Add Stuey MacGill and Katich to that list CDM.
It's smart to pick a top-order batsman among your reserves, especially with few one-day openers to look at and concerns over fatigue to Test players. Marsh was highly consistent this past season and maybe even the most improved player in the competition. Pomersbach, apart from not being an opener, does not know his one-day game yet. Does his List A record warrant ODI selection? To pick him on talent alone is to deny that Marsh is himself a very classy stroke maker who also has been able to convert some of that potential into runs. I'd also expect Travis Birt and Phil Hughes took substantial consideration.
