Very true. Agar and Hughes glossed an otherwise poor performance.
I'd be keen to see a few changes next test.

Warner
Rogers
Hughes
Clarke
Smith
Khuwaja
Haddin
Siddle
Harris
Starc
Lyon

Although Agar's batting was great. He's in the side to bowl and he's not doing that all too well.
As soon as Wato challenged that LBW he got in the first innings I knew he needs a stern talking to. His bowling is useful but if he's going to waste a DRS making a standard 30 then I'd rather give Warner ago.

If Warner isn't right may Faulkner is worth a try but I would rather some one with a better batting record as that's where we'll lacking.

Correction. Katich is in England for the purpose of playing first class cricket.

Though those 4 could still walk into the Australian squad tbh.

Katich will never play for a team Michael Clarke is captain of again!

Pretty sure Klinger is over there though...

Love to see us give Sam Robson a go. He has the most runs in the county championship ATM. He has a Aus passport and a UK one. For some crazy reason this means he can be a home player in UK but not in Aus. So never being able to play at home is a disadvantage to home getting picked.

^^^^

It seems he wants to play for the "old country".
The only problem for the Australian selectors is that Robson has decided he would rather play in, and probably for, England.

Can we do it today? I feel Clarke will declare very early. 331 to get on a 5th day wicket will be a tough target but if England are as good as they think they are they should give it a go!
