Hollywood (has a lot to prove over there but has been found wanting EVERY time. It's not as if spinners didn't feature at all, is it?)
Junior (never has fun on the subcontinent)
Casper (dodgy shoulder and it showed out)

thoughts?

Re your decisions conspiracy. It's getting up my nose how "our" team greedily takes any dodgy decisions, but won't cop them. There were some observations on that point throughout the radio commentary which were kinder than they should have been.
Heh, i was just kidding about the decisions thing. We were beaten by Laxman, who would have ever predicted he would score a double ton. And Dravid as well! And don't forget Singh, 13 wickets for the match.

My 11 would be this:

M Slater
M Hayden (going well this tour)
M Waugh (put the pressure on him to bat well)
R Ponting (same as above)
S Waugh
D Martyn
A Gilchrist (unlucky 1st innings)
S Warne (even though he got flogged all over the place in Calcutta)
C Miller
J Gillespie
G McGrath

Sorry but I just don't like J Langer, he hasn't done much on tour (then again neither has Ponting or Junior).

Against the Poms we could send the Victorian Sheffield Shield team
