Well, he's still got the final season match, plus the final to come good. In his favour is the fact that time is very much on his side. I don't konw too much about the other states, but Davis looks good for the Warriors- after Langer's retirement, he'll have to duke it out with Daniel Bandy and Clint Heron (Jack Heron's son).
Someone who's spoken quite well of is Chris Hartley, who's younger than Manou. His batting may not be his strong suit, but his average (28) isn't much worse than Luke Ronchi's (which will have gone up after today).

None of that bowling line up convinces me at all. Hilfenhaus looked a quality player this time last year, but has since regressed. The only area that looks particularly sound is the middle order. Dear, oh dear.

I suspect that you may be enjoying this...
Actually, the pace bowling is in reasonably good shape. Magoffin's been a very consistent and economical bowler for a number of seasons, and would be a good replacement for Stuart Clark if needed. Bollinger's had a phenomonal season too, and Hilfenhaus has actually ended pretty strongly. Another pace option might be Ben Edmonson, who can be a little expensive but has been a big wicket-taker for years now, and a very good one-day bowler.
