I'm a bit of a fan of top 3 should be your best 3 batsmen ie. hayden, langer, ponting. I feel clarke, katich, ponting are Australia's best at the moment. Watson provides more of an allrounder capacity like what flintoff used to play down the order for england. When fit I feel Brett Lee deserves a place, and i'm a big fan of ashlee noffke. Thoughts on the spinner place? smith/o'keefe/hauritz/kreizja???
clarke had a bit of a stint at opener in the one dayers and did really well. averages nearly 50 in tests where watson averages below 40. Has played heaps more tests then watson, feel he deserves a crack up the order.
