In Lee and Clark. Out North and Siddle. Australia must take 20 wickets. The bowling is strengthened and the batting still remains solid as Lee can score runs. Mitchell Johnson has shown he is a genuine all rounder, with an improving batting average now close to 35 and should in future be selected as an all rounder and fill an all rounder's batting position and not just be selected as a bowler batting low down at number 8.

mmmm a bit tough on North i would think. He has performed with the chances he has given, after paying his dues in state cricket for so long. I think he deserves to say - although i still think its obvious they should be putting these players in younger (see hussey, hodge etc).

and in any case, from all reports ponting loves having north in the team and he is unlikely to be dropped.

Siddle i don't think is suited to english conditions - he's better tailored to games where the captain needs long spells from him, he's unbelievably fit and strong through the chest and can bowl good pace for long periods. however despite his excellent seam position he can't seem to swing the ball effectively.

i would also put Lee in for siddle, Clark to come in if lee is not fit.
