All this just highlights how ridiculous it is that there is such a difference between the one day squad and the test squad. We batted for less than 50 overs in most test innings. So why not pick the same players for both?
Morgan and Boppara in particular have strong claims.

Really? Morgan looked the real deal when he started his test career but his wierd stance and high backlift got found out. His dropping was more of a mercy killing than anything else. Bopara had plenty of chances and didn't ever take one. Both their test averages are extremely modest - Morgan 30.43 from 24 innings & Bopara 31.94 from 19 innings.
Also, this game isn't over yet. They've got Johnson to come who is a ferocious hitter who could win it on his own.
Yeah I practically agree with you. But, the poor performances from most of our players must ask questions. And those players from our ODI side would be my first choice replacements.

It's due to fielding restrictions, bowlers being limited to a maximum of 10 overs, Powerplays , and umpires being more restrictive on Wides( particularly Leg side Wides ) and bouncers per over. Plus a few newer players are not crushed mentally by the Aussies so put up a bit of a fight.
