Doesnt seem the strongest squad with a few players missing because of injuries. However more than likely will be good enough to get the job done one would think.

Lehmann out of Test
October 15, 2003 - Fox Sports
DARREN Lehmann was today ruled out of the second cricket Test against Zimbabwe after a scan revealed acute inflammation of his troublesome left Achilles tendon.
Lehmann has also been omitted from the Australian one-day cricket squad for the triangular series against India and New Zealand in India this month.
Dashing NSW youngster Michael Clarke was included in the 14-man squad named today, apparently at Lehmann's expense.
Injured paceman Jason Gillespie was included subject to a fitness test with his spot to go to West Australian Brad Williams if he's ruled out.
Explaining the decision to exclude Lehmann from the tour, selection chairman Trevor Hohns said: "We have accepted the view that the demands placed on the body are sufficiently different in a one-off Test match compared to the intensity of a one-day tournament.
"The Cricket Australia medical team believes that although Darren might be able to get through this Test match, he will not be able to endure the rigors of a one-day tournament without suffering further damage.
"Darren is fully accepting of that view.
"From a team perspective its disappointing because he has been a key member of Australias success at one-day level."
Clarke, who made his one-day international debut against England in Adelaide last January, played four matches on the tour of the West Indies as a replacement for the injured Damien Martyn.
New South Wales left-arm paceman Nathan Bracken was included in the squad for the first time since World Cup in South Africa where he replaced the injured Gillespie.
It will be the second limited-overs tournament Bracken has played in India having taken part in Australia's five-match series against the host nation in March 2001.
Queensland captain Jimmy Maher, who missed out on selection for the three-match VB Series of one-day internationals against Bangladesh during August, was also included.
Australian squad: Ricky Ponting (capt), Adam Gilchrist, Michael Bevan, Andrew Bichel, Nathan Bracken, Michael Clarke, Jason Gillespie (subject to fitness), Ian Harvey, Matthew Hayden, Brad Hogg, Brett Lee, Jimmy Maher, Damien Martyn, Andrew Symonds.
(Brad Williams to come in if Gillespie is ruled out)
The Australian squad departs for India on October 22,
Match schedule:-
Oct 26: India v Australia (day-night), Gwalior
Oct 29: Australia v New Zealand, Faridabad
Nov 1: India v Australia (day-night), Mumbai
Nov 3: Australia v New Zealand,Pune
Nov 9: Australia v New Zealand, Guwahati
