I keep it to players who are playing now.

G Gambhir
C Gayle
S Raina
Y Singh
AB De Villiers
K Sangakkara (WK)
A Morkel
L Malinga
D Vettori (C)
U Gul
A Mendis

Guys unlucky to be missing out

McCullum - Preferred a batsman who could hold the innings together as the team has enough fire power already

Symonds - Lost out to AB

Murali - Lost out to Mendis

EDIT: Dilshan instead of Gambhir would make the team better.

Interesting line up. On present form I certainly didn't think either Bopara, Gibbs or Morkel would feature. No Steyn, Botha, van der Merwe, or even maybe (the unthinkable :blink:) Kallis?

11. Saeed Ajmal

Tail is a bit long, but you can't have it all, I guess.

Symonds
Raina
Hodge
Vettori

Would like to fit Yusuf in there somewhere.
:-O

Think he deserves the flick after tonight's performance.

I think this is closest to what I'd pick. Stick Gayle in in place of KP and probably Yuvraj in place of Duminy. No Indians in your lineup, interestingly.

Yeh definitely agree there. KP has hardly done anything good in this format. Would rather see Gayle in there any day.

Bench: Vettori, Kallis, Malinga, Bravo

Extremely long tail, but that's a serious amount of bowling firepower. T20 is not a format where you can afford to carry a weak 5th bowler IMO.

Plenty of hitting ability in the top 5, Sangakkara takes the gloves as IMO he's still one of the finest keepers around and he's handy enough with the bat, can float up the order to steady if early wickets are lost, keeping AB and Yuvraj back for later.

Bench has all round strength, Vettori could replace one of Mendis and Murali to lengthen the batting without affecting the bowling unit, Bravo could do a good job in the top 6 if required, and is a wicket taking option with the ball, albeit a slightly expensive one.

Crap team. Sharma is a bad pick, as is Gambhir. Dhoni should also be ahead of Sangakara.
