This team would go along way to be really good, maybe bar our 12th man!

My suggested changes.

Then there's the matter of whether you consider Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram as "W"'s.

Shivers, forgot to put Worrel in, I'd put him in for Warner. Contemplated wood full but thought Watson be a better choice as he offers something as a bowler and a decent fielder. Wessels, I wouldn't mind but the three W's and the waugh twins in your batting lineup, it be hard to find someone who don't like it. I didn't want to put the two Pakistan boys in as I thought it might ruin the challenge. Bowling with Max Walker is a little bit weak though if we were getting smashed about I'd just put him in slip and yet him yap away with his commentating. Like to see Walsh and Warne opening the bowling, though we might have to play in India then
