Is the current Australian batting order stronger than that of the lost generation?

I always think it's weird that Australia didn't really produce any ATG cricketers born late 70s to early 80s. I guess it sorta coincides with that awful period after Ponting and Hayden retired, and the messing about with the 2nd IX state comp.

Edit: Michael Clarke, Mitchell Johnson, Peter Siddle and Shane Watson are the only ones I can think of.

Did you just call Peter Siddle an ATG cricketer

I'll go on the record & say Sidds was an ATG. It's not every day that a cricketer can go on to become the shining figurehead of an entire species of fruit.

Would Warner count in his post-2013 physique? Hard to offset his height though.

And Michael Clarke of course, who can forget his model shoots from 2010.

Chris Tremlett needs to be in there, if this isn't an Australian side.

Graeme Smith stiff to miss out as well.
