Well, as far as I'm concerned, Bracken's far better than Clark. I do agree that he's more important for the one day team than the test team though.

Symonds is over there as an all rounder, which is a bit stupid really, as he still hasn't proven himself with the bat and his bowling is just handy. After his performances in the past couple of tests, he deserves a bit more of a go though. Meanwhile, Bichel's batting has improved dramatically over the last couple of years and he's a frontline bowler. If you go purely on facts and figures from this year's Pura Cup (449 runs at 37 & 45 wickets at 26), he's the best all rounder in Australia!!! But he's obviously never going to play for Australia again.

I assume the 1st test team will be:

Langer
Hayden
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke or Martyn
symonds
Gilchrist
Warne
Lee
Kasprowicz or Tait
MacGill
