A lot will depend on how long Langer and Hayden continue for.Gilchrist has already hinted at retirement after the World cup and that is possibly the time that Australia will lose 4 or 5 of the senior players.Whether the selectors decide to phase one or two out before then is debatable but you would get away with it if Hussey and Hodge become proper test players as Clarke will return as well.

For now i'd stick with the same ones as they have gone with against West Indies.

Hayden
Langer
Ponting
Hodge
Hussey
Watson/Symonds
Gilchrist

After the World Cup who knows?
Hussey
Jaques
Ponting
Hodge
Clarke
Watson
???? Whoever as keeper
