It'd be nice to get a full compliment of our best. For example Bogut actually playing for once.
Apparently his involvement at the World Cup* is still up in the air.

*Stupid name change there, by the way. 'World Cup' will ALWAYS be interpreted as the soccer version.

4 Baynes Bairstow Simmons (can play 3)
3 Ingles Newley (can play 2)
2 Exum Drmic (can play 3)
1 Mills Dellevedova

ABC 2 is going to be showing all of the Boomers, Opals and Team USA (men) games live.
How I hate that name. Although I guess it's preferable (in a major way) to 'the Dream Team'. Any chance Aussie media outlets DON'T call them that this time round? I'll run through the Bourke St mall starkers if they manage not to.

Assuming Bogut somehow did get up for it which I doubt

Bogut Baynes
Bairstow Anderson
Ingles Newley
Mills Goulding
Delly Exum

To fill the reserve spots i'm thinking of guys like D Martin Wortho Motum Jawai

bloody hell what happened to him?
nah all good but has indicated that he's unlikely to play I probably should have worded that better ;)
Also before the Exum Simmons and Maker (I just blew!) take over the joint would like to see Bogut and the oldies leave some sort of legacy. It's a fair team when everyone is there.
