Yep thats the Australian way,get them young,I dont know much abot the players you mentioned but I take your point.
At the moment we appear to be a good side,The Windies where poor at home,new Zealand are dissapointing,the test has yet to come.We have no cover for injuries,I mentioned Robert key,there will be others,also.
The selectors seem to be blind ,Strauss seems to have fit in,then there is Colingwood,what is he?who could he replace on a like for like basis.
Ther is a lot off class in our team,but who will replace Butcher,andThorpe when they go,I like your Idea,get them used to the England set up young,then they are noe over awed whe the call comes.
I am not Giles bashing,he had a good Test last time,but he has been poor prier to that for a while,We have a goog spinner at lancs,Keedy,never gets int the one day side even,were thay could have a look at him..
