Should Starc be called up for the Adelaide test to replace Siddle or Hilffy?

Any changes in batting? Kwhaja in for Quinney maybe or give the newbie a chance?

    I think there's talk of Hilfy being dropped.Talking of batsmen,there's Haddin got a cool 108 not out yesterday,why isn't he in the team? It beats all,it really does.

    I would drop Hilffy and replace him with Starc. Starc adds a little bit of difference to the attack by being a left armer. I would also get rid of Warner and replace him with Hughes. Hughes is in good form, has a great record against South Africa and Warner is in awful form and only plays an innings of note every few matches. As an Australian fan I am sick of waiting for that good innings when others are waiting.

    Hilfy must stay for now, no doubt about that. The Australian selectors need to let Starc play some shield cricket and find some touch outside of T20, or they are just setting themselves up for the next mitchel Johnson.

    Quinney displayed a complete lack of composure for test cricket in his short stay at the crease in my opinion (playing a good bowling attack like it was an ODI, and with complete disregard for the field placings) and his bowling could be likened to mike hussey without much concern.

    As long as there is any doubt over Watsons fitness he should stay out, as he's far too valuable to be risking, especially with his history of niggling injuries.

    My squad for test two is:

    1. Warner (last chance)

    2. Cowan (I think his fighting knock speaks for itself)

    3. Clark (Time for him to step up to #3 and take some more responsibility)

    4. Doolan (Best form batsman in the country, and proven vs the SA attack)

    5. Ponting (One poor knock does not cancel out his recent shield form!)

    6. Hussey (of the Michael variety. Enough said)

    7. Haddin (Haven't selectors learnt from Katich and Hodge? experience doesn't mean bad!)

    8. Siddle (Experienced and a good old fashioned work horse. Need his consistency)

    9. Patenson (If fit then he shows definite potential for the squads future)

    10. Hilfenhaus (Look past his low action, we managed to do it for Thompson!)

    11. Lyon (really promising, enjoyed his take on the dusra, with a strait arm!)

    12. Butterworth (great form bowler, could slot into the middle order comfortably)

    The word is that Starc in nfor Hilfy. He didn't look the best with his bowling, he's not bowling with a high action last last season. Watson is due back but you'd have to worry about his fitness. If Watson does come back, who goes? Quiney? though he did look the part until he got out to a good catch. Anyone else on the batting who could go? Maybe one of the oldies but that won't happen.
