Same. Take them already.

Based on the other votes and mention in this thread I'd be expecting something like this as the building blocks. Would be good to go through and do the whole thing properly though. I'm not sure I'd pick O'Donnell myself.

1 Warner
2 Waugh
3
4 Chappell
5
6
7 O'Donnell
8 Hogg
9 Lillee
10 Bracken
11

I'm not sure I'd pick O'Donnell myself.

He was a quality player (death bowler and very big hitting finisher) but as M Waugh and G Chappell are good bowling options (as is S Waugh if picked), I'd expect a keeper at 7.

It wouldn't surprise me that much if Lehmann was picked as well. I'd pick him ahead of Waugh but even if not I think I'd probably rather have him at 6 and keeper at 7 than keeper at 6 and O'Donnell at 7.

G Chappell was a surprisingly gun ODI bowler whenever he bowled. Turned his arm over in a large percentage of his ODIs too. Genuinely an allrounder in this format.

And coz I love the left handers being split up in the batting order, I would put Bevan at 5 and Symonds at 6.

Gilchrist (wk)
Watson
Ponting (c)
Jones
Bevan
Symonds
Hussey
Warne
Starc
Lee

Agreed. Irrespective of their hand, Bevan at 5 and Symonds at 6 will be perfect given how they bat.

 

[CricAddict]

Also, should Warne bat ahead of Starc?

I'd probably have Brett Lee ahead of both of them

Yes, I actually wanted to add Brett Lee as well in my post along with Starc but most people don't rate his batting much and hence, left him out of it.

I will pick Carey as a keeper even though he played less matches

Haddin better than him as of now, imo.

 

[Calm_profit]

Haddin better than him as of now, imo.

Haddin played mostly as an opener.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haddin played mostly as an opener.

Was about 50/50 between him batting top 3 and him batting 5-8 actually.

Shout-out to Hogg and O'Donnell.

+1

Why the hell is O'Donnell in contention for all time Australia XI? Entire AUS squads of 2003 and 2007 world cups were better than O'D
