Justin Langer is a player of class but hasn't been making big scores lately.

Will he get dropped and Michael Hussey move up to open and Michael Clarke come into the team?

Yeah, Justin Langer could be dropped. But Hayden and Langer are known to make big opening partnerships. If Langer is dropped, then those big partnerships might not happen again.

Langer and Hayden are great mates. If Langer leaves the team, it might affect Hayden, and that will be bad news because then Hayden might not be getting big scores any more.

No, if Langer is dropped Hussey should open, and Micheal Clarke or Brad Hodge can come back into the team.

No. Langer will not be dropped. You're stupid to think Hussey is going to open. What happens if the middle-order fails?

Good point! Australia need Hussey to stabilize the lower order.
