Take Your Pick

5 Keepers, 5 Spinners & 5 All-Rounders.

Who from each group would you like to see in Australian colours?

KEEPERS
Hartley, QLD, 26
Ronchi, WA, 27
Wade, VIC, 20
Paine, TAS, 24
Crosthwaite, VIC, 24

Haddin delibrately left out.

SPINNERS
Krejza, TAS, 25
Hauritz, NSW, 27
Heal, WA, 25
Smith, NSW, 19
McGain, VIC, 36

ALL-ROUNDERS
McDonald, VIC, 27
Symonds, QLD, 33
Watson, QLD, 27
D Hussey, VIC, 31
Hopes, QLD, 30

IMO Crosthwaite doesn't get enough credit for what he does and at 24 should be next in line behind Haddin. But I think Wade has the biggest future in the Australian side.

As far as spin goes I would consider all of them for Australia but Smith needs a bit more time at domestic level. My choice would be Hauritz or Krejza.

As for the All-rounders my choice is Watson. Symonds is going down hill and Watson seems the most able at all levels for the Aussies.

KEEPERS
Paine - is first class and ODD crickets best bat as a keeper.


SPINNERS
Krejza - 2nd test option
Hauritz - probably number 1 for one day cricket but maby McGain if in form.
Heal - worth keeping an eye on and giving a game or two.
McGain - Definatly number 1 for tests


ALL-ROUNDERS
McDonald, VIC - Best bowler of them all. Could be useful when swing is present.
Symonds, QLD - Number one for one dayers but just over Hussey.
D Hussey, VIC - Best batsmen of them all. Number one for test cricket.
