Should Australia play Bryce McGain instead of Macdonald in Cape Town?

What ever happened to Jason Krezja? Off in cricket limbo down in Tassie somewhere, maybe. Certainly he's another spinner to consider? Or am I missing him being sidelined by injury or something?

Nonetheless give McGain a go - the bloke could possibly pull something out of the bag...

Yes give bryce mcgain a chance to prove himself after doing all the hard work to get selected from domestic cricket, might as well dig deep and look for a possible replacement for shane warne,...

And who ever said drop simon katich from the team better have a good look at themselves, hes 1 of the form batsmen of the team, consistent and coming off some good scores for christ sakes. Macdonald needs to more time to get in form with his batting, we need a decent all rounder too

g'day Richie,

Thank you for your question.

I would give him a go and see how good he is ahead of the Ashes especially if it is expected to be a spinner's wicket. The curator considers that Newlands has traditionally been a good place for spinners.

I say why not use McGain. We have won the series so we might as well experiment.
And if the track favours spinners get him in there i say!

I say yes, they need a front line spinner. I'm surprised that MacDonald even got a go in the tests but in the end he did ok.

Get McGain in the team!

Definitely. Spinners are essential in a test if you want to take 20 wickets. So Australia should develop a spinner. McGain seems to be a Interesting Pick and a good choice. Let them give him a chance
