Oh for a decent second spinning option in place of Yardy.

We've got plenty of far better options, shame we don't pick any of them!

Yeah, but why would we need good spinning options in the sub-continent? Especially maybe a leg-spinner? Best just take the one top spinner and rely on bits and pieces players to fill in...

If only we had a young leg-spinner who could bat as well as most of the proper batsmen too....

The injured Doug Bollinger has been replaced in the Aussie squad by Michael Hussey.

Call me cynical, but Bollinger hasn't actually played any cricket in which to pick up a serious injury and Hussey isn't actually a like for like replacement, is he??....
