| No one else but me seems to be interested but anyways. This is my opinion on what the side should look like.
Chris Rogers - 29 years (7562 runs at 50.07, 2007: 1202 runs at 70.70)
Phil Jaques - 27 years (9344 runs at 56.97, 2007: 987 runs at 47.00)
David Hussey - 29 years (6552 runs at 51.18, 2007: 911 runs at 53.58)
Marcus North - 27 years (6481 runs at 43.20: 2007 680 runs at 42.50
Adam Voges - 27 years (1724 runs at 42.04, 2007: 630 runs at 57.57)
Brad Haddin (wk) - 29 years (4933 runs at 40.43, 2007: 669 runs at 55.75)
Andy McDonald - 25 years (1151 runs at 32.88, 66 wickets at 29.93, 2007: 750 runs at 57.69, 29 wick at 30.26)
Mitchell Johnson - 25 years (67 wickets at 27.74, 2007 12 wickets at 24.58)
Cullen Bailey - 22 years (54 wickets at 41.51, 2007: 26 wickets at 41.15) Talented! Statistics can be deceiving
Shaun Tait - 24 years (174 wickets at 27.33, 2007: 29 wickets at 27.10)
Ben Hilfenhaus - 24 years (99 wickets at 27.52, 2007: 60 wickets at 25.38)
12th Man: Cameron White 23 years (3686 runs at 36.13, 133 wickets at 38.57, 2007: 437 runs at 39.72, 9 wickets at 49.77)
White just lost his place to McDonald because of his great season. White is good enough to be in the side but he just doesn’t fit into this side I don't think he is as good a batsman as the older players that the top 6 batting positions consists of. Bailey is a better leg spinner and is talented so why not give him a shot because he is the most promising spinner and probably the best spinner under the age of 30 in Australia, edging out the left arm off spinner Heal and team mate Dan Cullen who is a right arm off spinner who looked quite ordinary when he made his test debut against Bangladesh
I tried not to put in too many 29 year old players but the seasons that Rogers, Haddin and Hussey have had were been brilliant and would be a crime to leave them out of the side.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CAN SOMEONE ELSE PUT FORWARD THEIR VERSION OF THE SIDE SO THIS THREAD DOESNT GO DEAD!!!!!!
