Michael Clarke has been dropped from the
Australian Test Squad for the third Test against
West Indies which begins on the 25th of this
month at Adelaide. Runs have dried up for
Michael Clarke and
Simon Katich of late and Katich was dropped
from the squad for the 2nd Test and its now
Clarke's turn. Justin Langer is back to his full
fitness after missing out the first two Tests
due to a rib injury and he forces his way back
into the side. Michael Hussey who was expected
to give way to Langer once the latter is fit has
retained his spot after scoring his maiden
hundred in the first innings of the
2nd Test
which ended today at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart.
Hussey remained unbeaten on 31 in the 2nd
innings to guide Aussies to an eight wicket win.
Brad Hodge who made his debut in this Test
impressed the Selectors with a neat 60 and he
too has kept his place in the Australian Test
Squad.
