Kallis over Flintoff SJS?
Thats a point Marc. I missed him altogether. Yes I would replace Kallis in the ODI team with Flintoff.

Now consider his Pura Cup stats this season.

He may not be the best player in the side but that doesn't mean to say that's he's not one of the better spinners going around.

Hogg ?? C'mon ...Can't agree with that..surely he's Australias weakest player !!
I certainly can't see how Hogg would ever find a spot in a World XI side, he's probably lucky he's played so many matches for his national side anyway.

How in the world does Lara make it into an ODI side before he does a Test side? Surely he would walk into any team in the world... even Australia.

I prefered Tendulkar and Dravid in the test side and for the right balance Lara missed out. Possibly a little harsh but at the end of the day, it was to find an approximate number of Australians in the side, not on whether Lara should be in the team or not.

Personal opinion, but even though Lara's not been in prime Test form, he's done a lot more against the big teams than Tendulkar has of late. But as you say, not the point of the thread, so we drop it.

No Ponting? No Warne in the test side? No McGrath in the ODI side? Michael Clarke in both?!

Strange choices for sure, but they are his choices, and it doesn't have to be a collaborative effort. :p
