Bailey gone, rightly so.
Marsh's Shield record is putrid, I have no idea how he gets a spot. I'm no Hughes fan but if they're picking on form he should be there ahead of Marsh.
I'd like to now see Watson move to 6 and give Doolan a chance at 3.
David Warner, Chris Rogers, Shane Watson, Michael Clarke (c), Steve Smith, Shaun Marsh, Alex Doolan, Brad Haddin (vc), Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris, Peter Siddle, Nathan Lyon, James Faulkner, Jackson Bird, James Pattinson.
Agree on Marsh, no fan of Hughes but he does have some form in South Africa with a couple of centuries early in his test career, may have something to do with Doolan being out of form at the minute and Marsh is some insurance for the No 3 spot.
Not sure Pattinson has earned his spot either but is getting a tour based on his extra pace and potential....Coulter-Nile is very unlucky IMO not to be touring.
Ditto on Pattinson/Coulter-Nile. But if any of the three main pace bowlers go down, it would surely have to be Jackson Bird who comes in ......bowls in the same manner as Stuart Clark...and he did major damage when he toured there.
