Aussie A playing a series of games in the tropics during summer. Ryan Harris to be bowling coach is interesting and positive (he has expressed a strong desire to get into coaching).
I reckon they've done well in squad selection, stating specifically its not the 2nd best Aussie side, but as much a development team, thus the selections of Whiteman and Nevill ahead of Wade and Paine.
Also mentioned White being picked to work on his spinners.
Good squad I reckon
