Clarke and Watson are extremely over-rated, Nofke is no bunny with the bat, I'd much prefer to have him in place as an "allrounder". Lee used to be an almost allrounder for a couple of years, but in the past 2-3 seasons his batting ability has dwindled again. Not that it matters, Watson will go when Symonds is re-instated, unless he goes and does another stupid thing.
I'll never understand the love in for Clarke or Watson, neither have really deserved their spots, and I honestly believe that the Aussie team was at it's strongest when Clarke was dropped and Hodges took his spot.
We really miss having a Gillespie style tail ender, someone who can come in and support, Clark and Johnson are tail end sloggers, great for ODI and 2020, not so great for tests.
And am I the only one who would love to see M. Hussey open the batting like he did so many times for WA? Katich would make a good #4, he is similar in style to Martyn who was very underrated, and with D.Hussey at #5, Symonds at #6 and White at #8 it's a strong batting lineup with better bowling ability than the one we currently have.
Not that it'll ever happen, with Clarke the VC, poor Hussey with his cricketing brain he would make an ideal captain/vc.
