play 6 batsman or 5 batsman and an allrounder then a keeper and 4 specialist bowlers. Siddle and Johnson should play and if you want to play a spinner, then play Clark and Hauritz. If you want 4 pace, then Clark and Hilfenhaus.

It's worth giving opportunities to fringe players as well, for me Butterworth and Dorey have become shoe-ins. Cockley and McKay should come good in a few years too.

Adam Crossthwaite is a decent keeper. Got him in for the first Ashes test because Haddin is injured. But Adams made 2 fifties on debut... Don't know who to use in the next test because Haddin is fit now.

 

[Niv]

Why not Wade? for me his FC average is the same as Haddin's.

 

[Hooper]

Yeah, I forgot about Wade. Wade is much younger as well. Well, Haddin is fit again so he comes back into the side. Hes averaging in the low 40's, high 30's in test matches so its not too bad. Will probably try Wade next. Had any success with him before, Niv?

 

[Niv]

Nah, Haddin's still going good for me, averaging 39 in tests. I played Wade in all the tour matches though, he's done pretty well, scored a 150 too.

 

[Hooper]

Yeah, thats about what hes averaging for me as well. Goes between 38 and 42 his test average. I'll probably look at Wade in about a year or two. Hes still young (?) so I've got time.

 

[Biggy]

Neil Wagner. Cricinfo says he's a New Zealand representative although he was born in South Africa. In the game he is eligible for South Africa selection, but not New Zealand. Error?

 

[Chewie]

He isn't available for New Zealand for a few years, like Myburgh, de Grandhomme and that keeper guy who captains one of the teams (i forget which)

Van Wyk

Van Wyk

Or Van Wycked .

Greg Hay seems to be pretty Decent, he's played 4 matches for New Zealand with me and averages 86. With a well hit 200. Also Joesph Yovich is averaging 25 with the ball but only 14 with the bat .

 

[Howsie]

I signed up Hay for my county and he averaged 77 with the bat in FC and 58 in OD. He's a good part-time bowler too.

Edit: Chris Gayle

 

[shravi]

Nah, Clare is one of the best all rounders in the game. Don't drop him.

 

[Hooper]

Its ridicolous how some England players are good in this game, i.e Bell, Bopara.

They are just awesome.
