Nothing against Siddle, what little I have seen of him I liked, and unlike with "all-rounders" the Aussie selectors do a good job with our pace bowlers, but why skip over Noffke and Bollinger?

Siddle is injury prone as well, I just hope he can keep fit for as long as possible so he gets a real good go at trying to stay in the Aussie side, I doubt he can remove Clark (and sure hope he doesn't) but if he bowls very well then perhaps Clark can rest up and get a chance to fully recover. Might also be good to replace Lee if we have a dud/result not matter test later on.

If Kumble plays and still shows signs of an injury, or plays bad, expect him to be ripped to shreds by the Indian press. There's been a bit of a push for a 3rd Indian Seamer. I doubt they will pick one, as India's bowlers have a terrible over rate as is, losing a spinner for a seamer would only worsen it.
