What's a classic ?

I read through this topic, JLC. Maybe I missed the arrogant posts. Would you care to point them out ?

Just wondering what everyone's opinion would be in forming a second Australian test side that tours.

Send them over to the Sub to hit it out with them there, I think they would still get the crowds to the games as you could mingle a couple of vetrans in the side as well, but it would be used as a team where they can try out the younger guys coming through.....would be very valuable to have them on call when we tour the sub as well because they would have gained valuable experience. Another pro would be that the games would provide alot more competition for the opposing sides..

Here is my idea

The First Australian Side plays....England, South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand and play one side from the Sub-Continent each year... ithnk that about accounts for the amount of test cricket that is played each year now.

The Second Australian Side would play Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and play a series agianst Either NEw Zealand or the South Africa as well.

Possible Line up for the Second Side
Maher
Blewett
M. Waugh (V Captain)
Hussey
Hodge
Katich (captain)
Haddin
Hauritz/Hogg
Noffke
Watson
Bracken

12th Man - Symonds

plus include a few other experianced and youngsters in the squad
such as Elliot, Kaspa, etc.....


"NEVER LEAVE, NEVER GIVE UP ON THEM AND ALWAYS BE THERE AT THE END TO CLAP THEM OFF THE GROUND. WE ARE COLLINGWOOD SUPPORTERS SON, EVEN IF THEY BEAT US, WE ARE STILL BETTER THAN THEM!"(quote from my mum when I was 8 years old)


This is only an example as requested.

The first Australian team cant even beat India.....lol

To me its arrogance suggesting to have a seconds team to play those other countries. Its very insulting to those countries imo.

It would be like Brisbane fielding a reserves team when the Bulldogs played them.
