Australia best XI IMO

Warner
Finch
Watson
Clarke
Smith
Bailey
Haddin
Faulkner
Johnson
Harris
Lyon

Lyon has a better average and S/R than Doherty at ODI level so that's why I pick him over X.

I like that XI; only thing is it would mean that Watto would have to bowl ten overs.

Agree Lyon greater than Doherty

Not really if you make Smith bowl some and if Clarke is fit then he can roll his arm over. If Clarke can't bowl off spin for 5 overs then don't pick him.

Warner and Smith both bowl leggies with Dave also bowling medium

Clarke and Finch both bowl spin

Probably only need one of those 4 to pitch in with 3 or 4 overs a game.

Wato ten overs a game does sound like an injury waiting to happen

Reckon we play an extra bowler than that lineup. Either marsh or maxwell will play at 6 and either Clarke or Bailey misses out.

Yep, Marsh in Clarke out.
Dont think Clarke is a walk up start for ODI's anymore

If Clarke is fit he's first chosen. Needs to be fit however and experience wins World Cups.

Heres my 15 man squad.

Warner
Finch
Watson
Smith
Bailey
M Marsh
Haddin
Faulkner
Johnson
Harris
Lyon

Cummins, Pattinson, Starc, S Marsh (Clarke)

No Maxwell? IMHO he will be one of the first selected

I think we all want Rhino to play and he would be in all our best 11 but I think the selectors won't play him and will really look after him until the Ashes

The 15 I think the selectors will pick is

Finch
Warner
Watson
Smith
Bailey
Marsh
Haddin
Maxwell
Faulkner
Johnson
Pattinson

Starc, Cummins, Wade, S.Marsh

South Africa's World Cup squad
AB de Villiers (capt), Hashim Amla, Kyle Abbott, Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock (wk), JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, Vernon Philander, Rilee Rossouw, Dale Steyn

Forgot about Maxwell, deffinetly in the squad but not so sure he's first picked in the starting 11 atm on form. Maybe Pattinson misses due to lack of match practice.
Agreed on Harris, still might be good to play him 2-3 of the harder games.

No to Lyon and no to Harris. Harris is on his last legs and we need him for the Ashes. We don't want Lyon' s newly won confidence being eroded in hit and giggle cricket either. Doh is fine for the one dayers but Zampa could be worth a look also.

Starc in for Pattinson, Wade in for Haddin. Blood Abbott and let Patto play some Shield. Piss off Haddin and have a look at Ludemann.

Agree with what your saying but picked it based on what I think the selectors will do

Also being a home tournament with the pressure to win I doubt there will be a lot if any experimenting/unproven players selected

******* Haddin though. Just retire already. He's cooked.

My World Cup 15 man squad as below:

1. David Warner
2. Aaron Finch
3. Steve Smith
4. Michael Clarke
5. George Bailey
6. Matthew Wade (WK)
7. James Faulkner
8. Mitchell Johnson
9. Pat Cummins
10. James Pattinson
11.Fawad Ahmed (If Australian Citizen)

12. Glenn Maxwell
13. Mitch Marsh
14. Dan Christian
15.Tim Paine / Tim Dunk (Back-up Keeper)

What do you think?

Not sure about Paine dunk and Christian but I don't mind it.

Ahmed is an Australian citizen, he has played a t20 international and a few one dayers.

Not sure why he wasn't given more of a go tbh

M. Wade will go close to being the Australian Player of the Tourney
