Australia tour of New Zealand 2010

[Howsie]

In the ODIs perhaps but I am not confident they will be in the test matches seeing as they could only hold Pakistan to a drawn series.

Hold? We would have won the series had it not rained on the last day.

Shouldn't be a surprise to see who the SMH is throwing in Test contention ring.

Century adds to Smith's case for Test, T20 spots

He is far away from the Test side.

I am hoping North is dropped :upray

I had a terrible dream last night. Dirk Nannes was in the test squad

Gazza added 1 Minutes and 22 Seconds later...

Hard to argue with you on that one Gazza.

I am sure you Aussies would like us to play better against you as well? Give you more of a challenge?

Yeah for sure, nothing beats a contest between us and you, in any sport.

That would be a dream come true for me if that happened haa..

When do the squads get announced? Surely it'd be soon, the first T20's next Friday...

 

[aussie1st]

Cricket Australia (CricketAus) on Twitter That usually gives you a heads up for when the squads are named.

North has 2 or 3 Shield matches before the Test series, don't know how many games he will get before the squad is named but he'll have those Shield matches to secure his spot in the 11.

Would have to be within the next 2-3 days one would think. The first T20 is Friday next week and your guys will probably want to be over here a few days before that.

 

[aussie1st]

T20 squad will probably be named on Monday as the selectors would want to take a look at Christian, Birt and Smith.

Michael Clarke (c) (NSW)

That could well be our T20 squad for the World cup now, seems like Hussey has fallen out of favour. I still see him offering something in T20 but not in the selectors eyes. Good thing is they are no longer picking Test/ODI players for T20.

ODI side was predictable, still don't know about Voges, his spot might be better off with Smith who can provide the big hitting.

Or David Hussey?.

 

[aussie1st]

Selectors seem to have given up on him after giving him numerous chances in ODI, hence why Voges is in the squad.

 

[Robelinda]

Good to see David Hussey there. And no Hopes or M Hussey in the 20/20 squad either. Interesting.

What is the point? Just let him stay for Tests and/or ODIs.
