Time for a game, guess Australia's WC 15

[PowerBug]

Simple, guess the squad of 15. It gets named in a week or so (7th I think) so let's play a game and see who can guess the entire 15.

The rules to go by:
Name your squad in the following format:
Bats: ...
AR: ...
Keep: ...
Seam: ...
Spin: ...

Please try to enter your squads in this format, it makes it easy for me to add up

The points will go as follows:
1 point for every player correctly named
2 points if you get an entire row (Keepers excluded) correct
3 points if you get the team structure correct. (Eg. 6 bats, 2 AR, 1 Keep, 4 Seam, 2 Spin)

A couple of things to clarify:
Shane Watson, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, James Faulkner, Moises Henriques, Sean Abbott are All Rounders
Mitch Johnson is a bowler
Steve Smith is a batsman

Squads can be named an updated up until the start of the Sydney test match. I will try to lock the thread on the morning of the 6th, I know I'm flying back from Perth on that day so it probably won't happen until the afternoon.

Is there a prize? Probably not, bragging rights, it's just a bit of fun.

So this isn't open yet, do not name your squads yet

[JBs-Hawks]

Whoever as long as no Maxwell.

[PowerBug]

I guess no one has anything else, start naming squads then :) One post per person, limit the discussion as much as possible :)

[jobe#4]

good idea PB!

[PowerBug]

thanks, hopefully it gets the responses. It's tough to pick, especially after Patto's performance tonight!

I think unfortunately with his injury problems and no guarantees to get through the tournament Clarke misses out.

My XI would be:

Finch
Warner
Watson
Smith
Bailey
Faulkner
Haddin
Johnson
Harris
Cummins
Boyce

M Marsh pretty stiff to miss out, but I've got to go Faulkner over him given his heroics.

Would really like us to pick Burns though. Maybe over Watson, but can't really see it happening :(
