Vim – thanks for the comment. Can’t say I agree though. I agree that an additional uninjured spinner, in the form of Hauritz, would have been a good addition, but doubt we would have picked two off spinners (noting the inclusion of Hussey D too). Where are the medium pace bowlers in Australia’s lineup? Watson aside we were two paced between express and spin. The bowling attack was unbalanced and there was no plan B. Looking at domestic cricket, medium pacers with experience that could have been selected include James Hopes (most underrated player in the country) and Andrew McDonald (I know he was hurt for most of the season but is a good player). Equally the rigid selection policy of express pace at all costs, cost John Hastings a run when his bowling might have offered a good middle ground between express and spin.

Thanks Tristan. I thought long and hard about including Watson but where do you put him is the conundrum. He was not in the best 2 openers in the World Cup and if you wanted a medium fast bowling allrounder in the team it is hard, still, to go past Kallis.
