Peter Siddle will replace an injured person in the team of Ryan Harris in Australia for the third Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo. Usman Khawaja was left out to make way for the return of Ricky Ponting, who missed the test Pallekele for the birth of his son.
Harris has been ruled out due to a hamstring strain minor, which means a withdrawal of Siddle in front of their less experienced fellow Victoria fast bowler James Pattinson. "I think we'll be safe and not sorry," said Michael Clarke, the Australian captain, Harris.
"He [Harris] played an extraordinary role in this series, [it] the first wicket-taker, and someone who we think is really important to our success in the test format. I certainly do not think it's worth the risk to play him here. if the minor strain is a large tear, it could be out for much longer, I think it is too important for us to risk him at this stage. "
Siddle struggled with the pace and duration of good at the game in Colombo warm-up that preceded the first test, but has worked hard in the nets and the gym to build strength and endurance since. Have a crucial role to play, for Harris was the principal holder of the series so far, claiming 11 windows at a cost of 14.54 runs each fair and consistent disorderly Sri Lanka before. Siddle has the ability to move the ball and took a hat-trick against England at the Gabba last year by the full-length bowling.
Khawaja, meanwhile, made way for Ponting, but its place at number 6 will go to Shaun Marsh, who made a thrilling 141 on his debut in the test when Pallekele Deputy # 3 in all three trials, he played up 'Here, Khawaja has a score greater than 37, but watched the game every time he has beaten. Nevertheless, Marsh's determination to exploit his first chance to fully meant selectors on tour could not keep them outside Colombo.
"It's great to have Ricky back, it was a great player for so long. There will always return to the team," said Clarke. "Difficult to Uzzi, because, without going and make a big score individual, he showed he can bat anywhere in the sequence.
"He played in a spin early in his inning has been very positive, so he showed selectors forward who can play anywhere in the first six. Of course it is a difficult choice, but we thought with the debut of Shaun Making 140 has been very hard to let it out.
"I think [Khawaja] may have felt it was an opportunity that was going to lose. Tim and I talked all night. The key to this stuff, not just the kids that you can not, but it is equally important to have kids play, [which] is important to give you all know, as soon as discovered. selectors just know that should make known what the team has.
"Uzzi was, of course, like everybody, disillusioned. She wants to play every game can be in Australia, but it was brilliant. He understood why. Uzzi One thing that has made it very clear that we want to go and win this test series 2 -0. Much of the success because we had the team take the kids in front of himself and Uzzi is another example of this. one thing that came out of his mouth was, "Let's just go and win the third test to go home 2-0 winners ", which is great."
Khawaja is the first player to be dropped under the new structure of choice, recommended by the Argus to see that Clarke was officially seated jury, and the key to the man to break the news to the players. His predecessor, Captain Ricky Ponting spent the entire structure of the units, and Clarke said, although it was not acceptable part of the job, he and other players has always seemed better to receive bad news for the captain.
"It's certainly not something you look forward, but what it does is it allows the player to understand the feelings of the captain how he [Player] has done throughout the tour "says Clarke." As difficult as it is to get out and in front of a player and let him know that it is not selected in the test match, I can give honest feedback.
"It is 100% what I feel and that's something I tried to do a full circle all that since becoming a selector: make sure that I am 100% honest with the guys who were selected but also the guys who are missing. policy of "no bullshit" is very important to me. I want the kids know the truth and unfortunately for Uzi, a large part of the reason is Shaun has 140 in his debut. It's hard to let it out. "
