Haddin's batting is good helping hand, but really it's the top order that needs to make runs. With Australia's terrible start their confidence is shot and they might not have the 'balls' to stand up in the coming tests.

Hughes HAS to open with Watson.. although another option i think would be good is Shaun Marsh.
Its hard to tell who to choose for the pace attack atm because theres speculation whether bolly is fit or not, his pace was definitely down.
I think North will be dropped this time.. well he has to be.. I would like to see Smith in the team for North.
well thats my opinion, up to hildick now.

We need to bolster our middle order, with Johnson batting at 9, we may be able to post a score our bowlers can defend. With Watson at 6, he can bowl more. We dont have a spinner good enough at the moment, so pick the youngest who bats best and let him play. Swan was crap not long ago, but England left him in.
Katich is out for the rest of the Ashes, North is out forever, Bolinger is not fit, X is not up to it, Ponting needs to move to 4, Clarke needs to step up

Nah, it's gotta be Mr Cricket, He has the Heart and experience needed to lead. When Australia is down in the dumps he stands up.
He has plays Vice-Captin for WA.. has Captained Australia against Windies and South Africa, and while it's not a great record, pointingn should stand aside, and do his job as #3 batsman for Australia ...
i think ponting should stay there as captain, as siad there is no obvious replacement. ponting would be the most experienced. Aussie cricket going through a hard patch, theres players but not many have that x factor.
and there up against a brilliant english team. Well done to the poms they are playing and bowling extremely well and it will be hard to beat.

There is no obvious replacement but as stated above Mr Cricket would do a great job. Ponting has failed too many times, failed in batting and as captain, he just doesn't take the game by the throat, especially test matches and play for the win.
Its not that the English team is brilliant, they are still #4 or something in the world, its just Australia has come back from many years above the top and joined the ranks again and having to battle for position.
