Time to have a big gripe, i feel

The selectors are a COMPLETE JOKE! Alright, if you want a 2nd spinner, then why not take someone who has carried the drinks in IND and SRL, like Cameron White. This guy can also bat No.6 as opposed to Macgill down at 11. Macgill has more long hops that Bob Beamon and doesn't drift it either.

I don't know what the selectors want from Watson either. Do they not no past scores? and that in the last 5 years at the SCG there hasn't been a match without a team scoring 450 or more in an innings. Its turning into an extremely long and frail tail, with 7. Watson 8. Warne 9. Gillespie 10. McGrath 11. MacGill. Alot seems to ride on the performance of the top 5 + Gilchrist.
If they want to drop a batsman, in lehmann, then why don't they replace him with a batsman, instead of greatly weakening our batting line up with a bowler who has never taken a wicket as the SCG in o.d.i s without going for more than 70 runs! Katich seems the obvious replacement, scoring 52, 125 + 77* in his only 3 bats at the SCG @ an average of 84.67! - He has also taken 6/65 in one of his only two bowling efforts there!

hmmmmmm...this might turn out to be quite an intersesting game

MY VIEW (if we bat first): AUS 442 (Langer 109 - Gilchrist 100 - Kaneria 6/122) PAK 374 (Youhana 88 - Ul-Huq 94 - Gillespie 3/62 - Clarke 2/13)

thats the 1st inns anyway...
