The loss of Shane Watson is a major blow. Whoever they replace him with will strenghten one component(batting or bowling) but weaken the other. I'd say Hodge will be given the nod, which would give their batting order an almost frightning menace but their bowling in which many teams fancy their chances would be seriously under threat. Sure Bracken, McGrath and Hogg have been great but if one of these guys is having a bad day along with an erratic Tait and the rest of the overs coming from Symonds and Clarke their could be teams fancying a 350+ total. I think if Tait doesn't perform against England on Sunday they'll drop him for Clark just to make the bowling a bit more stable.
