Martin's team for the 2nd Ashes:
S. Watson
S. Katich
R. Ponting
M. Clarke ©
C. Ferguson
M. Hussey (vc)
T. Paine (wk)
S. O'Keefe?
R. Harris
P. Siddle
D. Bollinger
Punter should consider himself on notice, but I'd give him a shot while not being captain to see if he can stage a comeback with less on his mind.
I thought twice about dropping Haddin after that century, but then I reminded myself that he has been a hack from day 1 and the decision was easy .
Spinner? I have NFI. Give this O'Keefe bloke everyone is talking about a go... or stick with X-Man. Really there is no one to choose from .
Siddle earned his place by being the only bowler to take any wickets in the first test, although he should also consider himself on notice if he can't get any in the second innings.
Johnson needs to go back to shield games and learn how to bowl again. He's been lacklustre since the last ashes. Hilfenhouse has never really impressed me.
The selectors are also hacks though so expect the actual team to look nothing at all like that. North has no doubt 'earned' his place in the team for the next 5 years with that one wicket, and I doubt they'll drop Johnson.
