Australia have some real decent batting depth in their ODI ranks ATM, complete contrast to their test set up.

Clarke, Marsh, Smith all in the wings.

Even Michael Klinger for example. I'd be highly surprised if Klinger ever played an ODI, but if Australia had a long-form batsman outside the side who was as good as Klinger-the-OD-player he'd walk into the Test side right now.

Yeah it's bizarre how that happened. A year ago I was lamenting how awful our ODI batting lineup looked beyond Clarke, a Hussey who was only playing half the time and a misfiring Watson, now it looks reasonably solid for the first time in donkey's years.

I was actually just thinking about this while taking my dog for a late night piss.

There is Ferguson too who is obvs the reserve batsman on this tour. If the World Cup was at a later time and another venue I wouldn't be that annoyed if Clarke stopped playing ODIs because of the current depth.

Better selection has definitely helped. Dropping Wade, Warner and Dussey as well as not trying to do completely weird things like bat Henriques in the top five has made a world of difference.

Ha. It took my a few seconds to actually get the link from before.

BTW, call me loko but I wouldn't mind keeping Hughes in our best XI especially if he was given the gloves. It would just make our team have so much depth and strike power.
