Unchanged squad announced for second Orange Test
Australian Cricket Board (ACB) Chief Executive Officer James Sutherland today announced that the National Selection Panel (NSP) has chosen a 12-man squad for the second Orange Test match against England, beginning in Adelaide on 21 November.
The squad is:
| NAME | STATE | AGE | CAPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| STEPHEN WAUGH (Captain) | NSW | 37 | 152 |
| ADAM GILCHRIST (Vice-captain) | WA | 31 | 35 |
| ANDREW BICHEL | QLD | 32 | 9 |
| JASON GILLESPIE | SA | 27 | 35 |
| MATTHEW HAYDEN | QLD | 31 | 34 |
| JUSTIN LANGER | WA | 31 | 55 |
| BRETT LEE | NSW | 26 | 24 |
| DARREN LEHMANN | SA | 32 | 6 |
| DAMIEN MARTYN | WA | 31 | 29 |
| GLENN MCGRATH | NSW | 32 | 88 |
| RICKY PONTING | TAS | 27 | 60 |
| SHANE WARNE | VIC | 33 | 105 |
The squad is unchanged from the one named for the first Orange Test in Brisbane, a match won by Australia by 384 runs.
Commenting on the chosen 12, Chairman of Selectors Trevor Hohns said: "There was the option to select two spinners in the squad but we have retained the same balance of attack we had in Brisbane.
"That balance, of three fast bowlers and one spinner in the final 11, has worked well for us in the past in most conditions and did the job well for us at the Gabba so we saw no reason to change that mix for this Test match.
Tickets for the second Orange Test match are still available and can be purchased through Venue*Tix on 08 8225 8888 or at www.venuetix.com.au.
The Test squad will assemble in Adelaide on Monday 18 November. Travel, practice and media arrangements will be announced in due course.
