Or should I say, why is Footitt not in the squad to see what he's like against the Aussies?!
I think it will be interesting to see the side the Aussies play. Haddin is a certainty, i presume Smarsh, Watson, Siddle & Ahmed will also get run outs. I think Nevill will play too so they van decide on who plays out of him and Haddin.

Exactly my thoughts! It's a perfect opportunity to see whether he really is at that level and the ECB haven't even arranged it with Derbyshire. Madness! Going to be a run fest and skittling!

Hey now, the Aussies aren't that bad.

A fair few of the derby players haven't even made their first class debuts. Oh and David Wainwright is playing...
At least Hamish Rutherford is playing.

Probably reasoning that it'd be best not to let the Aussies get there eye in against Footitt incase he's needed later in the series. But still...

But that's essentially like when we have played against a presidents XI who have a couple of test players in the team.
I just feel Footitt would at least be able to show if he is at that level.

Clarke is Davis's first FC wicket, dismissed on 16. Not bad at all. He also dismissed Voges for 1 too.

Not a bad start for the kid from Staffordshire!

Pup truly in the twilight of his career. Voges seems a bit fragile too.
For all that we talk about England carrying a couple of passengers (and they are), Michael Clarke's one of the biggest passengers on either side.

you can carry passengers when you have two batsmen in the form of their life and no discernible faults. England don't even have one of those.
