Trevor Hohns
Trevor Victor Hohnsis a former Queensland and Australian cricketer who played in seven Tests in 1989 where debuted at the age of 34. Hohns's legspin was largely unheralded during the 1989 Ashes series, which among his wickets included deceiving England's Ian Botham in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, who was bowled for a duck after missing a charging hoick. Hohns also was a handy late-order batsman, often batting as high as number six for Queensland in Sheffield Shield cricket...
added bowlers choose fifth four gives looks offer pitch providing squad
Watson gives the squad added flexibility. We can choose to play two spinners if the pitch looks like it will offer them something, or we can play four bowlers with Watson providing a fifth option.

We have to take into account who may be bowling better at the time, and that's been difficult with a lack of games.

I guess the past 12 months for Matthew in one-day cricket, even by his own admission, hasn't been great for him. We considered that it was now time to move on and try something else,

ashes bowling judgment late
It's not too late (for Gillespie to be selected). He's only 30. It's up to him. He's got to be bowling how he was before the Ashes and we've got to make a judgment on that.

It's freakish. I defy anyone to say he is not the greatest spinner who has played the game.

All these blokes were performing extremely well, and have done for so for many years now. I don't think that's an issue.
bowlers crop depth dozen given grab half hand maybe opportunity pack
I think the depth is there but what we've got, I think, is a crop of four, five, maybe half a dozen bowlers all in the pack. We'd like to see one of those put their hand up and really come out of that pack and really grab that opportunity once it's given to them.

It will be a good test for Daniel and we think it is the right time to give him some experience and a chance to be a part of the Australian team environment.
believe blend bowling coming covered decision easy experience fast full given happy injury length line pace quartet shoulder
The decision on the make-up of the fast bowling quartet was not an easy one, given that we are without McGrath. We wanted a blend of pace, youth, experience and line and length and believe we have all of these covered with our selection. Tait is coming back from a shoulder injury and he's bowling at full pace so we're happy that the injury isn't hampering his bowling.

Michael has been bowling fractionally better than Jason but it could have been an either-or call. He's been doing well in all sorts of conditions and is ready after losing form in England. Shaun offers that bit of oomph and if required he can provide some extra punch.
