What really should be Australia starting XI?. Still a big mystery i guess.

Presuming Watson can bowl, im leaning towards this XI:

Haddin
Watson
Ponting
Symonds
M Hussey
Clarke
D Hussey
Hopes
Johnson
Lee
Siddle

- Would pick Siddle over Bracken unfortunately because i reckon having 3, 145K bowlers will be a massive plus againts batting line-ups like India & SA - if Australia get far in the tournament.

- Not fully behind starting Warner, he is too hit & miss for me - more so the latter.

- Hopes could open if they want to save Haddin for the death & he can give useful overs, although batsmen will obviously want to target him. Plus

- Clark... well just stick him @ 6.

- No need for Hauritz, Hussey, Symonds & Clarke to sweak it.
