Provisional Australia A Squad named to tour Zimbabwe

[eugene]

I think all of our players have something to gain from practice matches. Taylor is hardly proven at test level, Taibu needs to show he can play long innings and Ray Price needs to show he can pick up wickets when run rate isnt a factor. All of our team have been resting from tests for six years. We need to develop our strongest eleven for the short term goal of performing well against in the upcoming tests. We can develop depth with the A tours once our senior side is playing full tests.

I thought that Marillier would be in there as he is a good enough player and had a pretty good season,maybe even play for the national team soon if he stays there for a while instead of going back to England,I also hear that a couple of county sides are looking at signing him for a couple of years along with Ervine,Chigumbura and Taylor,can anybody share any light on this?

He played quite a bit of second team cricket for Derbyshire, but never did enough to win a contract. I think he got dropped by the Rocks recently...

I went and watched a couple of games he played in over here and he did ok,lots of starts but he did`nt get a contract as he was filling in for an injured player,as far as playing at the moment I hear through my sources that he had a back injury but is getting back to full fitness at the moment,anyone got contact details for him as i would like to interview him
