Nick - I think you are spot on with your team & rotations with the exception of Brett Lee as the spare quick. Far too expensive for the one-dayers. I would prefer Fleming if he was fit. Otherwise I would stick to a Bichel or try out Williams who is in pretty good form at the moment.

12 - Langer

Mark Waugh's form lately is a concern. Steve Waugh should have given up the one-dayers by now. Brett Lee is expensive and while he takes plenty of wickets, he bowls a lot of crap. Harvey hasn't produced top results yet, but has probably the best balance of batting & bowling of the all rounders which is the only reason I've left him in.
Dropping Lehmann a couple of seasons ago was criminal.
Langer's one day record at international (despite limited chances)and domestic level is very good, and he is in good, quick-scoring touch in the five-day game. Unfortunately there probably isn't a spot for him ahead of the others who are better outfielders and part-time bowlers.

Is Adam Dale injured? Seems to have dropped off the face of the earth :confused:. If fit, he'd be probably my second bowler picked after McGrath.
 
Mark Waugh *
Gilchrist
Ponting
Bevan
Steve Waugh
Martyn **
Symonds
Harvey
Warne
Brett Lee (Or Dizzy if fit)
McGrath

12th man: Hayden/Bichel/Williams...

* = Rotate with Hayden
** = Give Martyn the chance to open the batting again at the WACA - he scored a top century last year.

This lineup can be swapped and changed around if one player isn't performing (Eg. Martyn out and put Hayden in)
 
My Australian One Day Squad

Adam Gilchrist
Mark Waugh
Matthew Hayden*
Darren Lehmann*
Steve Waugh* (this should be his last season)
Ricky Ponting
Michael Bevan
Andrew Symonds
Damien Martyn
Ian Harvey
Shane Warne
Andrew Bichel
Glenn McGrath
Jason Gillespie

Leave Brett lee out until he perfects his action and gets more mature - he does not bowl consistently enough to be bowling with the best at the elite level. Rotations bewteen Hayden and Lehmann should be frequent. If this isnt S.Waughs last season he will only deminish his outstanding one day career. Certainties unless injueed for every match should be Gilchrist and Mark waugh coz they work so well together in the one day format, Ponting, Bevan, Symonds, Warne, Mcgrath and Dizzy, the rest of the team shoudl work around a appropriate rotation system.
