Well, I think my proposed First XI is the same as yours, with the only question being between McDonald and White - a decision which would probably be made on the basis of the type of wicket being played on as much as anything:

Phil Hughes
Ryan Broad
Shaun Marsh
George Bailey
Luke Pomersbach
Cameron White
Luke Ronchi
Beau Casson
Peter Siddle
Steve Magoffin
Doug Bollinger

Broad
Hughes
Marsh
Bailey
Pomersbach
Ronchi
McDonald/White
Casson
Magoffin
Siddle
Bollinger

If there's a question over Voges being in the squad, that's another matter. As for the reserve keeper, I'm not particularly fussed, but Rachael presented some quite compelling written material regarding his keeping ability whilst someone (maybe Aurelius) suggested Manou wasn't much kop.

She did but unfortunately it relates to seasons before last one, which honestly was not to flash.

But I'm happy with the teams presented does everyone want to sign off.

I agree too... So, does this mean we're going with the above squad?

That'd leave the First XI as:

Broad
Hughes
Marsh
Bailey
Pomersbach
Ronchi
McDonald/White
Casson
Magoffin
Siddle
Bollinger

Maybe Ronchi batting below McDonald/White.
I'm happy with this side as previously quoted. McDonald or White chosen considering the bowling conditions.

I guess there are question marks over Voges and Hartley, but I'm happy with the above.

Right then. I'll try and see if we can get any player interviews. If you could write an article on the team we've selected Acker, that'd be great!
