Not Terrible
I'd have Jesse instead of Hussey in the Test team and Benn wouldn't be anywhere near the team. I'd have Shakib over him in both forms everyday of the week.

I must say I completely ignored the him but i do agree that he does indeed deserve a place over Benn, in both forms of the game. I just thought Benn's height may cause some difficulty for opposing team's batsmen with the variation from Daniel's bowling. He was more so a homer pick than anything. :p

Strauss in the ODI team, No! I'll have Tamim Iqbal there. And Gambhir in place of Gayle.

Ryder would be pretty close at having a look in at 5 or 6 for the test team. He looks a lot better than i originally thought.

Haha picking MIchael Clarke to bat five is cheating, surely. Kallis takes catches with his left hand sometimes, can I pick him too?

Australian team of lefties:

1. Chris Rogers
2. Phil Hughes
3. Usman Khawaja
4. Simon Katich
5. Mike Hussey
6. Marcus North
7. Matthew Wade
8. Steve O'Keefe
9. Mitchell Johnson
10. Mitchell Starc / Scott Walter
11. Doug Bollinger

And I still didn't pick Doherty.
I was almost tempted to be cheeky and pick Cosgrove ahead of either North or Hussey, but I thought I was probably only doing it for the sake of it so I decided not to.

Would take Ganguly over Strauss and Tamim in ODI's any day. Possibly Gayle too.
