How the hell is Warner more deserving of a spot in the team than Marsh? The guy has hardly done anything and been picked as an experiment, while Marsh has been consistently making runs. He's been Australia's best ODI batsmen this series. My God. And no Johnson, one of our best ODI bowlers in the last couple of years, is almost as dire.
Anyway, I don't see the need to pick only three specialist bowlers and bat Haddin at 8. I don't really like the idea of relying on Symonds, Dussey and Clarke for 10 overs when you've already got one proper all-rounder in the team, and Johnson and Lee can both bat pretty decently.
Watson
Marsh
Ponting
Clarke
Symonds
M. Hussey
Haddin
Johnson
Lee
Bracken
Clark/Tait or a specialist spinner, depending
Stronger bowling, no place for David Hussey.
