I think Hazlewood is being brought through in the way Broad has been - I think Australia might be preparing him for a long term role and letting him get experience of being around the senior team. He is obviously a great prospect for them, and certainly a better bowler than the other fit options like McKay.

I have an inkling that Trott will be fine in Oz.

i agree that bell is a more accomplished player at test level but i think morgan has the ability to intimidate the aussies. dont know about everyone else but everytime morgan comes to the crease i get the feeling something could happen, where as with bell i just dont :L

I agree - at the moment - although in the long term Morgan will do really well - probably when Collingwood retires

in the mean time Bell has really earned his go - and has been out best bat for the last 18 months.
Bopara is mentally to fragile at the moment, for me.

either a edge to send slip or....a big innings, i also i think he copes well under pressure, something bell has been criticised for in the past...

I see the aussies called up hazlewood- imsure he looked pretty militery medium when he played some one dayers over here?
There was a guy called McGrath, he was pretty much medium pace...

When he started out he was actually quitre sharp, and Mcgrath always had zip,even when his bowling speeds were down ate down at 80mph.

Hazlewood is 18, I'm sure he'll build up the pace.

Anyhow he was clocked at 87mph, which is pretty handy for an 18yo

Can Bell cope with the pressure in Australia, Im sure morgan could and he's a good fielder too. But yes I think it should be Bell as well :)

On current form, bell, but dealing with the pressure is of the utmost importance, especially when boundary fielding..., I think Morgan will be 2nd choice number 6, give him a decent run in the side and he'll do well I reckon...
