With Roy and Ashley in the dressing room, I'm sure they'll help keep team dynamics on an even keel...

btw, not sure whether I would have Elliott or Broom in that team tbh.
Elliott would be ideal coming in at 150/5. Broom ideal coming in at 200/5.

Fifth bowler?

Same as every other game this season just replace White with Quiney/Katich. You got 3-5 guys to bowl 10 overs there. If Hopes could bat then maybe play an extra bowler.

Broom is a long innings player by trade TBH.

Will Styris ever get into the team?
Athlai

His time has past for me.

Styris' days are numbered, with younger guys like Guptill and Broom.
He hasn't got bowling on his side anymore,.

Aus team should IMO be:
Hopes
Jaques
Clarke
Voges/Ferguson
Hussey D
Hussey M
Haddin
Noffke
Johnson
Bracken
Hilfenhaus
White doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the team IMO. Hopes should open. Jaques should get some time in the middle at least while Ponting is out. Playing five bowlers (including Hopes) caters to our strength rather than our weakness. Noffke is also good enough to be considered an all-rounder.
Once Ponting comes back drop Voges/Ferguson/D Hussey for Punter and shuffle the middle order down one.
You could also drop Hilfenhaus for either Heal or Hauritz if necessary.

Yeah okay. Klinger being a specialist opener in One Day cricket...

Jaques opening is actually a very good call - would give him the chance to get some more cricket into him ahead of the SA and England tours, and he's done well in the past - having him as match fit as possible can only be a good thing.
Hopes
Jaques
Clarke
Haddin
White
Hussey, M
Hussey, D
Johnson
Bracken
Siddle
Tait
With Dussey or White to make way for Ponting, with Clarke going back to 4 and so on...

Specialist top order batsmen imo. You could have anyone in that top 3 bat at three. Went for Katich at the top cus he has experience and Quiney cus he scores faster. You wouldn't want two slighty defensive batsmen at the top of the order.

The problem with picking Katich is that he's quite poor at ODI cricket.
Has to play the anchor role with no 2nd gear. Might be ok as a very temporary measure but leave him for tests IMO.

I could live with this side. I would be happier with Noffers in for Siddle, since Siddle is going to SA anyway and he'd strengthen our lower order batting.

I guess averaging 35 in ODIs is classified as being poor. Would be the perfect straight replacement for Marsh, who plays the same role. He got a 2nd gear just watch him play Twenty20.
stephen

35 is a poor ODI average if your strike rate is 69. I can still never forgive him for keeping Jaques and Hayden out of the ODI side in the summer of 05/06 where Jaques made four or five centuries and broke a record in the ODD comp at a 96 strike rate.
If any opener deserves a go in the ODI side it's Jaques. It's a travesty that he hasn't had a real opportunity in that format.
