Australia confirm XI for the Adelaide Test:Clarke to play, Marsh and Hazlewood left out

[BeautifulGame]

Michael Clarke will lead Australia in what will be an emotional first Test against India in Adelaide, after being passed fit to play. Clarke had appeared set to miss the Gabba Test due to his hamstring injury, but the rescheduling of the series has allowed him to play the new opening match. Australia have confirmed their XI for the Test, which starts on Tuesday, with fast bowler Josh Hazlewood left out and batsman Shaun Marsh also to miss after being called in as an extra squad member on Thursday. Marsh will travel to Brisbane to play in Tuesday's Sheffield Shield round for Western Australia. Hazlewood has been named 12th man after Peter Siddle, Ryan Harris and Mitchell Johnson were preferred for the pace attack, with Mitchell Marsh and Shane Watson offering all-round options. Australia 1 Chris Rogers, 2 David Warner, 3 Shane Watson, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Steven Smith, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Brad Haddin (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Ryan Harris, 10 Peter Siddle, 11 Nathan Lyon. http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-india-2014-15/content/story/808231.html

Siddle got in? this line up is packed with bowlers.

[adi B]

clarke in a hurry to play,dont think he is fully fit.i think he'll struggle with the bat,especially again aaron

[Cricketfanatic]

This line up has 7 good bowling options excluding Warner in familiar home conditions.Indians would be doing a mistake going with just 4 on unfamiliar foreign turfs.

[sweetaskandy]

Another hammering awaits. :hysterical:

[Cricketfanatic]

Havent seen much of m marsh but that's a cracking lineup - if they were to somehow get a solid player of spin in near unbeatable. Haddin rogers and smith add bulk and then there are a couple stroke makers - excellent bowling attack. Everything to play for - a 4 match series in aus would be great to watch.

Unless India don't fall like a pack of cards.Hope India gives some tough competion.Dont mind them losing 3-1.
