On form, Ponting would not be in the side. If you take the captaincy off him, why select him at all? I wouldn't

Same goes for Clarke. Does he want to be a celebrity or an Australian cricketer?

I like your selection of Paine and Hughes though. Even though I am not a fan of Hauritz, I agree he must play in Perth.

I think we are now paying the price for "the old boys club" method of selection. The writing was on the wall during the tour of India.

Too many players have kept their place in the side because of the 'mates" style of selecting. Now that Greg Chappell is on the selection panel, we will see the necessary changes made.

It's not too late to win back the Ashes. but, it will take some bravery from the selectors.

If we change nothing.....we loose!!!!!

cheers.
