The World Cup co-hosts play their next group match against Bangladesh Feb 21 at Brisbane.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nClarke, dogged by a hamstring problem, was ruled out of Australia&#39;s Cup-opening match against England but he is expected to return to the team against Bangladesh.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBorder, who guided Australia to the World Cup crown in 1987, said Bailey&#39;s runs against England had made the selectors job all the more difficult. But Border still believed he was the guy who would make way for Clarke.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;George was the obvious candidate a few days ago. I thought his performance against England was very, very good. Australia were just teetering having lost three pretty quick wickets and George and Aaron Finch just steadied the ship,&quot; Border was quoted as saying by the Cricket Australia website.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;I thought he really started to get some flow into his innings. He&#39;s not been in his best form but it&#39;s amazing how it can turn around quickly. That innings could be just what he needed; he was scratchy early but started to really blossom towards the end.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe 59-year-old added all-rounder Shane Watson&rsquo;s dismal form with the bat has been an issue, and he will be &quot;on notice&quot; to probably be the next man to make way for an in-form talent.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;Watson will be watched closely though, he&#39;s been struggling for his best form but he can just spring into action at any time. I&#39;m backing him to come good (but) he will be on notice,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
