I'm still not sure about Voges as a number 6. Most of his good work has been at 3 or 4 in the past. But yeah, the selectors have been really harsh on Hughes this summer.

I think we should be looking to bring in a keeper who is a big hitter. Wade is horrible with the bat but I would like to see someone who can WALLOPPPP at the end of the innings.
Just bemoaning the fact that we don't have a natural destructive striker coming in at the later stages of an ODI.
MMarsh is currently injured so he can't come in, perhaps you are right, I'm not 100% sure of the ideal lineup.

It's maybe a spot too low but it's not like he can't figure it out there. The 80 odd he made against england in 2011 came at no 6
1. (To be determined, Marsh, Finch etc)
2. Watson
3. Hughes
4. Clarke
5. Bailey
6. Voges
7. (To be determined, Haddin still wants it, but I'm sure Wade/Paine will be given most of the prime opportunities over the next year or so)
Is undoubtedly the strongest batting line-up we can put out. If Watson misses due to injury or resting we probably have to call in Marsh/Maxwell. but the beauty of having Watson in the team is that it means we don't have to send out a ****ty bit part all-rounder like mmarsh or maxwell and i'm thrilled we seemed to have finally figured that out

Phil Hughes should be our ODI wicket keeper.

Who would this be in your opinion? I haven't seen enough of Neville, but from what I've seen of Paine it's not his game at all.
Tbh, I'm not necessarily advocating a bit part all-rounder in that role, and certainly if I picked Marsh or Maxwell I'd only be slightly considering their bowling. I just sort of feel you need someone who can give it a bit of wallop down the order, as NUFAN said. Who that is, I'm not really sure. You have Faulkner at 8, which means you can sacrifice a bit of actual run getting for faster scoring and an ability to smash it miles at number 6.
