This is fairly simplistic, but if you break a cricket team into positions you could have : top order batsman, middle order batsmen, keeper, pace bowler, spin bowler. So there are 5 'positions'.
I would argue, that incredibly, the VERY BEST players in FOUR of those positions in Australia are not even in the Test team. Michael Clarke (middle order batsman) aside, in my opinion the VERY BEST in the other positions are: top order bat - Chris Rogers, keeper - Chris Hartley, spinner - Steven O'Keefe and pace bowler - Ryan Harris. I will grant that Harris is just returning from injury so it hasn't been realistic to think that he should have been in the team recently. But as for the other 3, I simply cannot believe they are not there.
I would be interested in others thoughts......
