Batsman Callum Ferguson has shades of Michael Bevan about him, with the ability to score quickly in the middle order, while the lusty hitting of Cameron White and James Hopes means Andrew Symonds' presence isn't missed as much as it might have been.

Weakest point of the team is Andrew Symonds absent but Western Australia batsman Adam Voges is the new capped player who just has played two oneday international matches.

We all know that the world number one wicket keeper Adam Gilchrist has said good-bye from international cricket. Brad Haddin who is a real alternative of Gilchrist, scored 1,490 runs from 53 matches.

Squad: Ricky Ponting (capt), Michael Clarke, Nathan Bracken, Callum Ferguson, Nathan Hauritz, Ben Hilfenhaus, James Hopes, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Tim Paine (wk), Peter Siddle, Adam Voges, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
