If it were up to you who would you select in the Australian team for the third test?

Phillip Hughes

Simon Katich

Ricky Ponting

Michael Hussey

Michael Clarke

Shane Watson

Brad Haddin

Nathan Hauritz

Stuart Clark

Peter Siddle

Ben Hill-fen-house

Shane Watson

Simon Katich

Ricky Ponting

Michael Hussey

Michael Clarke

Marcus North

Brad Haddin

Nathan Hauritz

Stuart Clark

Peter Siddle

Ben Hilfenhaus

My XI:

Phil Hughes (come on, give him a shot!)

Katich

Ponting

Michael Clarke

Marcus North

Shane Watson (in place of Mike Hussey)

Brad Haddin

Mitchell Johnson (yes, pick him for God's sake!)

Brett Lee if he's fit - if not then Peter Siddle

Stuart Clark

Hilfenhaus

Reasons: Hughes has plenty of potential and he's not gonna get better unless they play him. Hussey has not been performing for a long time, Watson solves the all-rounder issue and adds more depth. Mitchell Johnson, though he's out of form, is still Australia's best bowler and the selectors have to persevere with him. He can also bat, as can Brett Lee. Michael Clarke, Marcus North and Simon Katich can provide some part-time spin if necessary. Hauritz is not a big turner of the ball and is only going to be effective on turning, uneven wickets.

Matthew Hayden

Mark Taylor

Don Bradmen (c)

Ricky Ponting

Allan Border

Steve Waugh

Adam Gilchrist

Merv Hughes

Shane Warne

Brett Lee

Glenn McGrath

Richie Benaud (12th man)

I agree that Marcus North isn't good enough to bat at 6 for Australia.

My Australian side.

Phil Hughes

Simon Katich

Ricky Ponting

Michael Hussey

Michael Clarke

Shane Watson

Brad Haddin

Stuart Clark

Peter Siddle

Ben Hilfenhaus.

Shane Watson should come in for Marcus North if Watson is fit. Watson is a class batsmen with a solid technique, North is a decent batsmen but not good enough to bat at 6. Watson's late swing and golden arm can help nick some English batsmen out.

Mitchell Johnson has had his chance, he once again failed against Northants (6 overs for 42) so Stuart Clark's relentless line will come in

How, oh how I wish Brett Lee was playing!

My XI:

Hughes

Katich

Ponting

Clarke

M Huss

Haddin

Watson (Subject to fitness!)

Johnson (Yes, that's right)

Siddle

Hauritz

Hilfenhaus

I would pick Bingalee to go over and sort out our problems, he seems to know everything there is about the game and if he doesn't know it he will make it up!!

I'd give mike another rest and give his brother chance in test

Ned Kelly and his Gang.

i will select the present aussie team led by ricky ponting also i will surely select andrew symonds in that 11 men squad ....................
