Also McGrath can bat in LOIs still as he wont be substitued if Australia bat first in Australia's batting :) A team which bats deep any way like South Africa which I mentioned could think of keeping the 12th man as a bowler, substituting a batsman if it bats first as it wont require an extra batsman considering the batting depth it has.

Cant you sub a batsman who is out? Lets say Gilchrist, Hayden, Ponting, Martyn, Symonds and Clarke are out, why not make Hayden sit the rest of the match out and bring in the substitute. The interesting aside is that McGrath will never bat in an ODI again!! why do you have to sub a weak bowler, if you are batting first and lose 5 or 6 wickets? Cant you sub a batsman who is out?
