will haddin be fit? i am not so sure. Watto will be captain surely?
Quote me on this, Watson is absolutely no chance. He has a few people on the board that don't support him in the team let alone as captain, it is just that unless they feel Burns is ready NOW Watson will be picked. Buckleys chance of being skipper. Haddin will captain if fit. Smith the vice captain. If Haddin is out, expect Smith to get the job, with Cameron White playing and basically being the 'captain' without the 'c' next to his name.

Cameroon White ?:WTF:
Don't be so shocked especially if Clarke is out. Rated as the best 'captain' in Australia, an is coming off two fantastic Shield seasons. Plus has had a good start to the Shield this year and in teh Metrador Cup too. He isn't as far away as you think.

I feel Mitch marsh would be a good pick right now. Maxwell can also get a look in. They are going the Warner route with him
If I hear the word Maxwell and test cricket again, I'll lose it. He is a T20 slogger, leave him there. Useless when he has to use his brain, which unfortunately for him test cricket requires.

Watson @ 3 White @4 .This is easily the worst batting line we have faced in Australia in recent memory. Us still losing the series would make even worse I suppose

Remember when Cameron White was picked as the lead spinner in team LOL
At the time I didn't mind it, not as if Jason Krejza who had 10/1000 did much better, we still got flogged. I actually thought White wasn't ready. Only in the last 3 season he has been ready.

Personally if I had my way Watson would be that far away from a number 3 spot it isn't funny. Firstly he is ordinary and secondly he wastes his customary DRS on absolute plumb lbws! However, I'm not sold they believe Joe Burns (who got another ton today- 3 this season now) is ready. White will be at number 5, Smith is at 4.

What happened to likes of Hughes' date='Doolan?[/quote'] Doubt they see Hughes as a number 3. Plus the bloke still has serious issues in regards to spinners. Doolan has had no runs in the Shield, would need a score, and it isn't as if he hasn't had chances. The reality is our long term number 3 is only 17 years old, who is making his Shield debut next match (Jake Doran).

Likely Australian team 1. Warner 2. Rogers 3. Watson (grr I hate it) 4. Smith (vc) 5. White or Joe Burns (QLD) 6. Marsh 7. Haddin (will be fit) CAPT. 8. Johnson 9. Harris 10. Hazelwood 11. Lyon
Batting looks really weak. India seems to have a stronger batting line up :giggle: And no Mitchell Starc? :hmmm:

Indian batting is strong for Indian conditions, not Australian. Most of them will play a test in Aus for first time. We might see a repeat of 1999.

Starc is pretty average, not to mention he needs FC cricket. Hazelwood/Harris/MJ is the 3 quicks. Batsmen are fine.
