Anyway it looks like the vote is settled so we have

Hughes
Broad

as the opening pairing.
You could get your wish next time. According to the West Australian, Rogers is set to defect to Queensland and Marsh is the frontrunner to take his position as an opener.

Interesting that Hilfenhaus made it into the squad. Based on recent form, you'd think that Siddle, Magoffin and Bollinger (if fit) should be there ahead of him. Good that the selectors are backing him for the long haul, though.
