Message: [QUOTE="m1c, post: 2462485, member: 1944"] I've got the side a little more stable than that. As much as I just rubbished Siddle, if he pitches up he's not a bad bowler. Ponting is the only one who I don't think will make it. And whilst Warner is also no certainty, he's more likely than not. The selectors are backing Cowan and he seems to have a lot of credit in the bank. Hussey is still a dependable performer who age is not wearying. Who take's Ponting's spot in the top 6 is a pineapple - there is just no one screaming out. Uzzie, Hughes, Doolan and possibly Bailey seem the only likely. I'd imagine 2 of those 4 go. Paine would need to have a bumper post Big Bash Shield season to dislodge one of them. Phil Hughes is the real wild card - he is a prodigious talent and if he takes his opportunity in the ODI's I can't see why he won't be in the starting 11 as either an opener or even lower down the order. The bowling pretty much sorts itself out - the top 5 quicks are fairly clear-cut. Johnson and Hazlewood obviously have the opportunity to move themselves up the pecking order this summer however I find it unlikely. My locks are: Cowan Clarke Watson Hussey Wade Pattinson Siddle Hilfenhaus Starc Cummins Lyon [/QUOTE]
