Clarke. Hussey. Gilchrist.

Rank them.

Hussey over the other two, very underrated. I'd have Clarke and Gilly basically tied. Different sorts of batsmen, but both incredibly important for Australia.

Why Hussey over Clarke?

Why Hussey over Clarke?

I think he had better application and a more reliable approach for tougher batting conditions.

Not sure how one would come to that conclusion but hey, to each their own

He struck me as a Dravid lite, but anyway, that my impression. A little better against swing, but not as good against spin. Very solid, but for a relatively short time for Australia.

Hussey better than Dravid against swing!?

I think so, he faced the conditions more often in County cricket. I always liked his defensive technique.
