If you're relying on a part timer as your 5th bowler, then you'd better pray that your other 4 bowlers are doing the job.

Australia's pace trio didn't step up in either the semi or the final, and as a result the part timers got destroyed.

A 5th bowler is more important than a 7th batsman. Mussey got 17 off 10 balls in the final - Australia might have had a much more defendable total if Mussey had got in to bat earlier.

Oh, absolutely agree a decent 5th is a higher percentage move than than 7 batters. The Aussies could have avoided needing them had they not picked Clarke at all. Would have taken the pressure of the part-timers too because Watto especially got spanked even in the big wins. Picking Clarke, though, necessitated shoring up the batting.

Yep, I'll go with this team too.

I see a few teams have put Watson in it, don't think he deserves a spot at all.
