Australian and Indian teams for Adelaide (IMHO)

These are the sides I would pick for the 4th test in Adelaide looking from both sides.

India

Sehwag
Dravid
Laxman
Tendulkar
Ganguly
Dohni
Pathan
Kumble
Habarhjan
R.P.Singh
Sharma

Australia

Jaques
Hayden
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke
Symonds
Gilchrist
Lee
Johnson
Siddle ( surprise uncontracted selection ) 23 yo rfm
Clark

And I will continue my current refusal of a under performing spinner who offers no more value to the side than Clarke or Symonds do.
Bryce McGain would be the unlucky if my unswerving policy was relented.
I am looking forward to Stuart MacGill and Cameron White coming back from injury as I am also looking forward to Cullen Bailey and Daniel Cullen regaining some form.
P.S these two have to play for seperate states as one keeping the other out of the same side while both are trying to impress is ludicrous.
