Best Cricket Xi (from 2000s)

I think Australia should have Marnus at 3 and Hussey bats below Clarke while Watson can be dropped. Watson was an average test player.

Australia would win.

SA were very good too, India's batting is weak and England's bowling is weak.

Not really - those Aussie bowlers have often struggled to take 20 wickets, even at home.
India’s batting, as proven time and again, runs deep. The Aussie batting isn’t that far removed from what India has recently faced and they’ve beaten them enough times.

I'd pick Watson over Warner to open. Watson won't be any worse than Warner away and the Aus batting will be crazy strong at home without Warner anyway.

Also Watsons bowling allows Mitch Johnson to bowl in 4 over spells and that's arguably when he was most effective.

India will have the highest win % based on their home record.

Aus will likely win a bit more than India away, and also have a great home record, but will drop home games to India and RSA.

RSA probably have the best away record, but a meh home one.

Aus and India both seem good answers to me.
