Who else wants to see D. Hussey given a go batting higher up the order? No doubt he's done some magnificent work at 5-6 this summer, but I feel he could contribute so much more batting at 4 or even 3, as he does for Victoria (mainly at 4).
His record over this CB Series is amazing, leading all comers with 412 runs at 82 from 8 innings (3 n.o) and 5 50s. Bevan-esque stats, but with a high score of 74 for the summer I feel we haven't seen the best from him. Put him at 3 or 4 and give him the chance to really build a massive innings or two, the sort that we've been crying out for from our top order all series.
Obviously you don't want to rob Peter to pay Paul, but MEK Hussey, Wade and Christian have all shown good to great finishing/rescue mission skills over the course of the series (and over M.Hussey's entire career) - leave it to them!
I would like to see:
Watson
Wade
Forrest
D.Hussey
Clarke
M.Hussey
Christian
But seeing as the selectors think the sun shines out of Warner's arse, he would probably be in front of Forrest (Watson moving to 3).
Your thoughts?
