Defiantly Tait in the side if you have a quickest bowler in the world why not use him, if he can worry top class batsman with his pace it is a big plus for any line up. Watson is a loss but Hodge will come into the side and Hodge can bowl quite good off spin in a Clarke or Symonds mould plus his batting strengthens the side hugely. This is how is see the bowling line up.


Bracken (10 overs) - no 1 quick
Tait (10 overs)
McGrath (10 overs)
Hogg (10 overs)
Symonds (5 overs)
Clarke (5 overs)
If needed Hodge can role his arm over for 2 or 3 overs.
