We need to lose the Crud!

Ok. England just played some marvellous cricket there! Particularly good stuff from Andrew Flintoff and Andrew Strauss. However, Australia have some changes that need to be made. Firstly, get a proper wicketkeeper! We currently have a keeper who is a batsmen who can sort of keep. Wrong selection! We need a decent keeper! Haddin is a good batsman but a dud keeper.

Problem two: Mitchell Johnson. Not so long ago he was a world beater with his bowling. Recently he's been a pie chucker. I assume this to be an aberration as he has been so good in the last 12 months! I'd persevere with Mitch and expect him to sort out his action problems soon. At least he hasn't lost his batting form. Perhaps too much expectatation had been applied to Mitch to lead our bowling attack. Hilfenhaus has been excellent in the Ashes. Siddle has been good in patches but too inconsistent. This has been more costly than usual due to Mitch's excessively wayward bowling. We need another bowler who can be guaranteed to tie the batsmen up and apply pressure. We have one and his name is Stuart Clark. He must be picked for the next test, possibly at the expense of Peter Siddle.
