because he has his own bag to carry perhaps?.....oh silly me, you mean Moises isn't good enough to carry Husseys bag?.....

well at the same age of their respective test careers, Henriques has scored more runs, more fifties, taken more wickets and catches than Mr Cricket did at 26 yrs old? Anyway time will tell how good Henriques will be at the elite level, considering he isn't a specialist batsman like Hussey,one can't expect the same level of runs from lad as Hussey scored.....one thing for sure if the lad hadn't played in that game, it would of been all over by the 3rd day!!

Drop Siddle, keep Starc for the variation and his ability to scuff up some areas for sadly Lyon and either Maxwell or Doherty to aim for.....it's the top three which is the problem.....though Warner is making runs......Cowan is the problem, he is a 30 - 35 ave player.....nothing more nothing less, at least Watson has the ability to score fast and take the game away from the opposition IF & WHEN he gets past 25!! Plus a right/left handed combination will help keep the Indian spinners on their toes......though if you drop Cowan or Hughes you have another leftie in Khawaja coming in.......

Well done to Henriques. Gutsy, classy effort on debut, played the spinners beautifully by watching the ball and playing late. Best thing is he's assured that the highly over rated Maxwell will continue to carry the drinks.

Changes for the next test should be Johnson in for Siddle and another spinner for Starc. Watson to open with Warner, Cowan at 3 and Phil Hughes out - hopefully for good. Surely Pattinson has to play. He's the only one that looked like taking wickets but no, they'll "rest" him and go with another pop gun attack.

If they had any balls they'd get Beer or Agar on the next flight and play him in the Test starting Saturday. But of course they won't because that would expose the idiocy of selecting three modest dart throwers as alleged "spinners" in the squad.

I wonder how Steve Smith is enjoying his holiday in India? Surely he can get on a plane and come home as well and save CA a few bucks on accommodation.

Agree with that Dog

My side for the next test would be drop Siddle and Starc for Doherty and Agar (though doesn't look like he is replacing Bird) and also piss off Cowen and bring Maxwell in. Hit them hard with 4 spinners. Our selection for last test was laughable

we could have played Clarke and 10 spinners and still lost on that wicket..its about quality, not quantity as Pattinson showed..
he was our best bowler by the way and doesnt bowl spin..

And it looks like Pattinson may be rested next test from what i heard, thats how well the selectors are going

if it means he doesnt break down again its a smart move..
he needs to be managed to be fit for the Ashes..

selectors are an easy target for people instead of focusing on the blokes who dont make runs or take wickets...

Mate we both know its been a shambles this year, not one side has been our best team and they are giving out caps more freely than ever, its a joke!

so who shouldnt have got a test cap ?

they have introduced Bird and Henriques who both have done very well..
Quiney was the best player in shield cricket last year so deserved a go.
Hastings was the one who was probably a wrong call..
