http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/current/story/492953.html Brad Hodge, the Victoria batsman, has been included in Australia's list of 30 probables for the 2011 World Cup beginning in the subcontinent in February. Brett Lee is also in the running while James Pattinson is the only uncapped player in the mix. The squad will be pruned to 15 by January 19.
"There is blend of youth and experience in this extended group with exciting young talent like David Warner, Mitchell Starc, James Pattinson and Stephen O'Keefe all pushing for inclusion in the final fifteen," Andrew Hilditch, the chairman of selectors, said. "These players have some opportunity between now and January 19 to push for a spot in the final squad of fifteen.
"Australia is the reigning World Champion and also holds the ICC Champions Trophy in the 50-over game. We've selected an initial squad with conditions in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in mind and expect this group to be equal to the challenge ahead."
Squad: Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke, Doug Bollinger, Dan Christian, Xavier Doherty, Callum Ferguson, Brad Haddin, Ryan Harris, John Hastings, Nathan Hauritz, Brad Hodge, James Hopes, David Hussey, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Shaun Marsh, Andrew McDonald, Clint McKay, Steve O'Keefe, Tim Paine, James Pattinson, Peter Siddle, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Shaun Tait, Adam Voges, David Warner, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
That should shut Hodge up for a few days...

Hussey, M.

Only through necessity.

If M.Hussey was allowed stay at 6 where he is all but impregnable he'd still be averaging +60

Hodge is the best batsman in Australian cricket at the moment - a much better player than when he last played test cricket.
