This is how I think they'll line up.
T20
Warner
Marsh
Finch
White
D.Hussey
Haddin
Smith
O'Keefe
Lee
Hastings
Pattinson

I can't see them wasting Watto and Mitch, they'll probably condition some newer players for the opener or both.

ODI
Watson
Haddin
Ponting
Clarke
M.Hussey
D.Hussey
Smith
Johnson
Lee
Doherty
Bollinger

TEST
Watson
Hughes
Ponting
Clarke
M.Hussey
Khawaja
Haddin
Johnson
Siddle
Harris
Lyon

Undoubtably, no real consistent wicket-takers amongst them.

I think the main problem is not being able to bowl in partnerships, look at all of the best bowlers and nearly all of them had someone at the other end either building pressure or attacking. Siddle Johnson Harris are all far too similar for mine. All pretty dumb bowlers my opinion and will not work partnerships.

Hope some of the young quicks come through asap.

I think you'll find over the next few years, guys like Stac, Copeland and Hazelwood will start to hit there straps and push for selection. It will be interesting to see how young Lyon goes. I wish him all the best and hope that he relax's a bit and bowls well.

Starc would have already played Test cricket if not for injury, IMO.

Starc and Cummins leading the attack in five years time.

Sri Lanka's fast bowler Lasith Malinga has said he is fit and ready to face Australia in the five-match one-day series, having recovered from a back ailment.

These guys, along with Pattinson and Cummins, are the future. We desperately need these blokes to develop and avoid injury because they all have incredible natural talent. Starc's that giant left hander who gets good bounce and a hint of swing. Basically a taller, more dangerous version of Johnson. Hazelwood's the McGrath clone, if he's half as good we're cheering, and I honestly think if he avoids injury he will be a 300+ wicket taker who ties up an end and frustrates bastmen to no end. Copeland lacks pace but then so did Stuart Clark, and I think he could have similar success but for longer. And then there's James Pattinson, regulary hits 145, and is dynamic, can pull out gems from anywhere, and have spells which rip line-ups aprt. Cummins is that tearaway quick and still a teenager.

I see Grayeemee Labrooy is the Match Referee for this game. Seems such a shame that he missed out on a long complicated name....
