I believe I'm up, so I shall take Eoin Morgan to finalise my XII.

Absolutely perfect for the limited overs XIs, in that he's a rubbish Test bat but absolutely gun in ODIs and crazily underrated in T20I cricket. Fantastic finisher who complements my middle order well, and he's a gun fielder - so perfect for 12th man duties. Not that my bowlers are bad fieldsmen and would need to tweak a hammy between spells.

Wow its my turn again! Too many to choose from but im going to go with my gut and go with Baron Constantine. Would be a lethal finisher in T20, gives me another quality genuine quick plus Gibbs and Constantine in the off field would be impenetrable. May even merit a spot in the ODI team.

One of my very favourite players Aravinda de Silva . Improves my test and ODI batting while providing another bowling option, no doubt he would have been good at twenty20 as well.

Happy enough with this. Batting strong in all formats (well I have Bradman) and plenty of variety in the bowling. Was not sure about the batting order for the twenty20 side but think Aravinda would go well at the top and I did not want Symonds any lower.

Which shunt most deserves to be kicked out of my Test team? Malinga, Afridi or Hussey?
Well the latter hasn't even played Tests. Think he'd have done a better job than Afridi if he did though.

Malinga was a fine Test player IMO, just couldn't stay fit.

Don Bradman is definitely the weak link in your team Pothas. I would seriously consider making him 12th man for all 3 formats.

Otherwise excellent drafting as usual :)

Depending on the conditions can play the extra bowler or batsman - particularly the ODI line up could bring in Patto for Faf but this can be the default.
