How good is D Hussey, some say he is better than Mike but I find that hard to believe. Can he open the batting because I believe its time to replace Hayden. When last did he get a big score.
Good call on Symonds.

D.Hussey, despite being brothers, is a completely different player to Mike. A flamboyant hard hitting right hander with a huge backlift, whereas Michael is more of a defensively sound, compact grafter. So its hard to compare who's best, but its hard to go against Mikes career record. David has never opened in any form of the game as long as i can remember, so i doubt he'd get a position opening. Presuming Hayden hasn't done enough to secure his position, that will either fall to Watson or Jaques.

speaking of Hussey, if they can get him out within the next 5/7 overs, Aus could really struggle to chase these, only for Mcgrath to come out and hit Australia to victory of course.
