Aus A?
Jewel
Khawajah
Quiney
Ferguson
Pomersbach
Wade
Henriques
S Smith
Geeves
Laughlin
Bollinger
12th - Doropolous
Young squad i know, but time to blood some of the next generation. Problem being, ive got no real Cpt candidate - suppose id have to opt for Geeves or Ferguson. |

Unfortunately a lot of promising young cricketers are turning there backs on the game for footy, as it is easier for them to play at the highest level with over 600 spots avaliable on lists, and the cash is better at a younger age.
As for an Australia A side this tour i would go with
Rogers (VIC)
Marsh (WA)
Fergurson (SA)
Hodge (VIC)
Symonds (QLD)
Henriques (NSW)
Wade (VIC)
Geeves (TAS)
Krezia (TAS)
Harris (SA)
Bollinger (NSW)
All of these players would be in the mix for australian selectors or their positions, but realisticly only Krezia or Symonds would be a chance |

When I said lost to footy I meant lost FROM cricket, he's almost certain to pick the AFL as a path as the chances of getting drafted are much higher than getting into a state cricket squad.
The money is better too and he also won't have to face the continued comparisons with his legend father. |

| One name on the horizon is Jack Boon, son of GOD. Though he is currently playing for Tassie in the AFL's under 18's national carnival - so he may be lost to footy. He has the choice anyway as he was in the Aussie under 18's cricket squad last summer, though he didn't play. |

Wade averaged about 50 with the bat question mark over his keepingm,crossthwaite the better keeper,wade has the ability to be formidable with the bat somewhat like gilchrist.
No doubt on steve snith bat him at 6 and play another spinner.
Hopes and symmonds too old.
Good chance to look at smith.
Maybe henriques in the one dayers or christian.
Bollinger yes.
Exciting to see young players chosen.
Callam fergurson and bollinger would be the first 2 chosen in this squad.
Dave warner for the one dayers. |

Jaques is a chance (is he fit?).
Doropoulos, Wade, Ferguson, Cosgrove, Mitchell Marsh (is that his name?), Geeves if fit, Bollinger also. I bet they give Henriques a run too as he is the 'chosen one'.
I hope they give a chance to Smith from NSW too - the leggie, if he is as good as they hope he is then I'd like to see it. |

Plays pakistan A in july 2 4 dayers,3 one dayers and a 20/20.
Guess it will be whoever missed out on the ashes.
Hope they don't pick symmo,hodge or hopes too old.
Tait,marsh and jaques injured.
Callam ferguson is a shot as is ryan harris.
Will be an interesting side who do you think will get in.
1 tip steve smith he is potential. |
