Trevor Hohns Given Quotations

Glenn's 100 percent fit and ready to go so it's sensible that he returns to the squad given his prior status as the premier fast bowler in the world,

Justin is back in the squad subject to fitness. It was a logical decision for us to have him back in the team, particularly given his record and seniority within the group.

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.

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.

Brad Hodge can count himself unlucky not to be included. It is fair to say that the (selectors) were looking for Brad to put together some really big scores in (domestic first-class) cricket to consolidate his position in the test squad but unfortunately that hasn't happened. The decision on the make-up of the fast bowling quartet was not an easy one, given that we are without Glenn McGrath for this series.
