Australia name unchanged squad for 2nd Test at Adelaide
10.05 IST   14th Nov 2002

By IndiaExpress Bureau

Australian Cricket Board (ACB) Chief Executive Officer James Sutherland on Thursday announced that the National Selection Panel (NSP) has chosen a 12-man squad for the second Ashes Test match against England, beginning in Adelaide on 21 November.

The squad is:

Steve Waugh (Captain), Adam Gilchrist (Vice-Captain), Andy Bichel, Jason Gillespie, Matthew Hayden, Justin Langer, Brett Lee, Darren Lehmann, Damien Martyn, Glenn McGrath, Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne.

The squad is unchanged from the one named for the first Ashes Test in Brisbane, a match won by Australia by 384 runs.

Commenting on the chosen 12, Chairman of Selectors Trevor Hohns said: "There was the option to select two spinners in the squad but we have retained the same balance of attack we had in Brisbane.

"That balance, of three fast bowlers and one spinner in the final 11, has worked well for us in the past in most conditions and did the job well for us at the Gabba so we saw no reason to change that mix for this Test match.

The Test squad will assemble in Adelaide on Monday 18 November. Travel, practice and media arrangements will be announced in due course.
