You mean one day cricket, right?

If so then i think hayden and gilchrist will likely go, but i feel hogg has some life left in him still. Some big boots to fill there. Who do you think will replace them?

This is what I think

Gilchrist will go if they win.
Hayden will stay due to his form and how hard he has worked to get back into the side
Hogg will stay he is always fighting to get into the side
McGrath is going, no doubts

Gilchrist will be replaced by Haddin who is 30 then Haddin will be replaced by either Ronchi (Gilchrist's clone) or Paine young WK batsman depending how well he comes along.
Hayden will be replaced by either Jaques or Rogers, both are guns
McGrath will be replaced by Clark, or Hilfenhaus or Johnson. The first two are more in McGraths safe accurate style.
Hogg would be replaced but Bailey, Heal or Cullen. ???? Bailey has the most potential but is a long way away.

I'd like to see how their test matches go after the World Cup.They'll be missing McGrath,Martyn,Warne and Langer.Of course,they still have good players,but their wins probably might not be that convincing.

Langer and Martyn are easily replaced. Mcgrath and Warne are irreplaceable.

So there still won't be a place for hodge?

[Nostromo]

I think Gilchrist will join McGrath in retirement; maybe Hayden too, at least for ODIs, though he has said that he wants to reach 100 Tests before hanging up the green cap. But Hogg will probably stay on for at least 2 more years; he is a spinner and very fit and spry for his 36 years.

I don't think there will be if Hussey want to open in ODI's then maybe but otherwise there probably wont be.

The only way Hodge will get in the test team is if Hussey replaces Langer as opener. It's certainly a possibility, Hussey's natural position is opening bat, Jaques has been in poor form and Hodge just might have more to offer (with his outstanding fielding) than Rogers.

In the ODI team, Hodge will get a place if Watson becomes opener (replacing Hayden).
