Oh yeah, I have no problem with the selections of Johnson and Tait, I would almost definately have selected the same bowling attack. I DO have a problem with bowling Tait for just 21 overs in the match, that is poor captaincy - he is in the team to bowl, bowl him. You're totally on the ball about blooding young players - Test cricket is really hard, these guys MAY be Test class, they may not, but we will not know unless they play. They rightfully should be in this team and given a fair opportunity, but I don't have a great deal of faith in either of them, and I also think that is a fair enough opinion to have.

Also agree totally about your point regarding Australian's selectors, they have not cultivated the young talent Australia had well at all, and just expected them to just take to cricket and thrive...amazingly this has worked with Hussey and Clark but you're totally right at how lucky they have been about this.
