Hutton or WG Grace (Grace preferred) for Cook Stokes / Rhodes for Pietersen

Even ignoring the "opened the floodgates" excusing the crap middle order, you've got one hell of a first world problem there (Bottom is Jaiswal; top three are incumbent openers for the two WTC final sides and the side currently beating India)

#94: A Thunderous Partnership BBL04, Game 4 Thunder 1/208 (Hussey 96, Kallis 97*) beat Heat 152 (Reardon 49, Sandhu 3/19, McDonald 3/20) This game was dominated by a dazzling effort from Thunder openers Mike Hussey and Jacques Kallis. The pair added 160 runs in 17 overs, with Hussey dominating...

Of the 11 Shane Warne replacements before Nathan Lyon, I'm going to pick up... the median one, of course! :bwl: Jason Krejza - not as good as Doherty or Hauritz, not as bad as McGain or Cullen! @Ed Smith
