Good question John. The line "Gillespie will come good - look at his record" has become stale. He is a spent force and has to go. But who to replace him? The next test, i think it will be time to unleash McGill. But Lee got hammered this test and Kaspa is not a specialist opener. Gillespie, while a specialist opener, has no penetration and Tait is too inexperienced to risk this series. God, i hope McGrath comes good soon.

My 11
Langer, Hayden, Ponting, Martyn, Clarke, Kattitch, Gilchrist, Warne(c), Lee, Kasprowicz, McGill.
I would go with two spinners. I would choose Lee and Kaspa because they have the fitness and stamina to bowl the amount of overs that would be required with just the two pace bowlers. Tait 12th man.
I would thank Gillespie for his fine service over the years and send him home to be with his family.
