Amadeus Mozart should get the gig. Young, unorthodox, superb all-rounder… What’s that?
Haydn is spelt with an “E”?

I reckon Iron Bar is more of a lower order slogger. Heffernan too. Good sledgers though I reckon.

And Mark, I agree. I think Phillip Hughes will get the nod.

Much as it pains me to recommend a New South Welshman, on current form it’s got to be Phillip Hughes.

And Leon — Hodgy, God bless him, must be the unluckiest cricketer since, well… perhaps their hasn’t been an unluckier cricketer. If he can’t make the Tewnty20 squad when he’s clearly the best player in that format of teh game in Asutralia not playing. I don’t like his chances.

Oops — Phil Jacques — of course! Although his injury may see selectors choose someone else.

Jacques could always come back in once he’s fully fit and someone had been given an opportunity.

It’s going to be interesting

I think you might be forgetting about Phil Jacques.
I also think he is the logical choice if fit.

Being a WA boy myself, Rogers or Marsh would suit me fine, though I don’t see how Marsh can be justified. He had a fantastic IPL and then has done almost nothing in the domestic competition.
Go Rogers.
