MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia coach Ange Postecoglou has recalled forwards Tommy Oar and Nathan Burns in an extended 30-man squad for next month's World Cup qualifier against Thailand after being disappointed with the Socceroos' disjointed attack in the home draw against Japan.

Australia needed a second half penalty to salvage a 1-1 draw against Japan in their previous qualifier in Melbourne which saw the hosts slip to second in Asia's Group B behind Saudi Arabia.
