Thankfully Lehman has put the rotation policy to rest so these guys if fit are going to have to wait there turn, at the moment they will have to wait for an injury or loss of form.

I agree about them waiting their turn now,good for Aussie cricket.
Pity we don't have some batsmen banging the door down right now as well.

A/M I would say Pattison would be next line.

So many quality fast bowlers, so few class batsmen and spinners. No doubt they're out there, but they need to be found!

Just on Batsmen ..... how the hell Nic Maddinson isn't in the squad just absolutely defies logic !!!

Chris Rogers just is not a test quality batsman - Maddinson has to play in Sydney to get some time in the side ASAP

And young Alex Doolan or Travis Head must be in contention at 6 very very soon

plus thing about fella's like Starc and Pattinson are they can bat too.....first time I have seen Feldman and Sandhu bowl as well.....both boys look tall, zippy and strong as well.....yeah the pacemen stocks look good.....Cummins is always injured Anchor...looked fantastic in his one and only test.....hopefully his body can right itself as he matures.....good mix of sizes/speeds/styles amongst the Aussie bowlers.

Batting wise Aust have been blessed over the last 15 -20 yrs with some fantastic players.....Maddinson looked so clean last night that he is definitely a prospect, Hohns was indicating the other day Maddinson, Burns, Hughes, Silk, Doolan and S Marsh(FMD) as the next in line batting wise.....Silk looks classy and only 21 too.....Doolan is older at 28....looks technically good....Burns, like Chris Lynn comes with a good reputation from QLD......Hughes and Khawaja have been the next big things for ages.....sadly for me test wise S Marsh is gone....one dayers/T20 yeah, tests no!....Bancroft, Head and Carters have all played well this year too....these guys just need exposure.....perhaps blood them via the 50 over format over the test guys.....


Keeper wise Whiteman to me, may quickly jump above the likes of Paine and Wade....though Nevill is held in high regard and he is from NSW(say no more!!)

Spinners wise, Lyon is still young and keeps chipping in with some key wickets here and there.....others like Agar, Zampa, Boyce, Holland,Turner and Rose are finding their feet at first class....plus the Pakistani expat Fawed could be given a go.....but to me he sounds like a bit of a red herring, that will amount to nothing....poor in the field and can't bat......also NSW blooded a new boy last week in Singh.....good to see the first class scene widening their nets amongst their local communities.....

All rounders.....well everyone knows Mitch Marshs ability......just got to get his head and body right.....hopefully Ben Stokes 100 at the WACA will motivate the kid to lift his game and say to himself if Stokes can do it then so can I!!....Faulkner and Henriques all seem talented and have their moments......one could count Starc as an allrounder due to his 99 in India and 50 v Eng......

on paper looks promising for Aust future.....

How about Behrendorf as a long term prospect? (He reminds me so much of Bruce Reid). Though he's got a few pretty good ones in front of him.

Coulter-Nile bowls 140km/h+ and can swing the ball!

Surely your are not basing it on this Big Bash crap.
Chris Rogers is a far superior test batsman to Maddinson.
