Looks OK.
If you are looking at say a couple of years when Hussey, Ponting and Katich are dust then i would say

1.Hughes
2.Watson
3.Khawaja
4.Clarke (c)
5.White
6.Ferguson
7.Haddin (wk)
8.Smith
9.Copeland
10.Johnson
11.George

Decent line up i guess. There are others that could go in there like Marsh, Paine and the current bowlers like Siddle are still pretty young so they could still be in the team.
