what is your best Aussie XI for the World Cup?

Well the tennis was great. Saw sook Hewitt lose and saw Safin-Roddick's match. Saw Sharapova a couple of times as well. Good trip. Hungover though at the moment. Had a big night last night!

Well i was at the BDO, so i probably feel about as good as you.

Meaning headaches and crap. And friken Murray against Nadal in on tonight. Why couldn't that be the day session match!

The Aussies will make themselves very vulnerable if they continue to play 4 specialist bowlers with limited batting ability. It`s great to have someone like Adam Gilchrist who is capable of getting us off to a flying start, but we are starting to find out that when the top order fails, it puts too much pressure on our middle order knowing that we have a long tail and meaning that our big hitters such as Symonds and White are in two minds whether or not to play their natural attacking game.
Whether it be a fit Shane Watson or others such as Andrew McDonald or James Hopes, we definately need another all rounder who can really bat.

Um...Cameron White has plenty of FC runs and he is batting 7, Johnson, Lee, Clark and Bracken have FC 50's. We will gain Watson and he'll hopefully replace Hayden opening the innings. That is more than enough batting. I don't think we have a long tail at all, and if you are relying on your 9, 10, and 11 to be making 100's your top order should be blamed not the fact that the tail is too long! The tail enders are fine. FFS we have Lee at 8 which is fine and he is a damn good lower order bat. Johnson is a very good lower order batsman.

Our main worries are up the top of the order, ie Hayden, and ponting hasn't been in the best of form.

At least Ponting can say he had a good test series and he has had 1 less bat than Hayden has!

Ponting will come come good we all know that, But Hayden?
