Been saying this for a while.
For the first test, barring injuries or a incredible turning pitch, Australia should (and probably will) run with this;
1. Pillip Hughes
2. Simon Katich
3. Ricky Ponting (c)
4. Michael Hussey
5. Michael Clarke (vc)
6. Marcus North
7. Brad Haddin
8. Brett Lee
9. Mitchell Johnson
10. Peter Siddle
11. Stuart Clark
Only debatable things are
a) Brett Lee's inclusion - is he fit and ready, and playing well enough to earn a spot?
b) Symonds v North - I'd go with North
c) Hussey's spot in the batting order - TBH I don't care if he is 4 or 5, all I know is after this series if he fails again he should be dropped
d) Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson's position in the batting order - Who should come first? Who cares.
