Matthew Kuhnemann bowled very well in SL earlier this year - probably outbowling Gaz. He would likely be first cab off the rank.

Todd Murphy is probably worthy of further opportunities and is only about 24 or 25.

I don't know that he'll be needed much in the Windies, but when next Lyon gets a big chance to influence a match - i.e. the Ashes - he'd probably want to impress otherwise there will rightfully be questions as to whether it's time to move on. Will turn 38 before summer.
Rocchiccioli is another spinner potentially in contention.

After being handed the song leadership from Mike Hussey, Lyon has led hearty renditions of Under the Southern Cross 67 times across more than a decade.

But the 37-year-old spin star said it was time for someone else to “put their touch on it” and Carey was the man.

I thought Head would be the next team song leader, this obviously shows how high of a regard Lyon holds Carey in.

Rocchiccioli I think has gone past Todd Murphy.
