looks just about right to me...
there will also be a one day side to play either Aus or NZ (i think)

Maybe Pollock for Murali.
Also, Kumble got a bucketful of wickets last year, but Vettori is a useful SLA bowler.

Aus will win everytime if played in Aus.
What about Satchin Tendalker ?
I know Strauss has had some good form but I'm not convinced he is the best one day opener in the rest of the world.
And Sachin is just returned from injury and out of form.

How could Shoaib not be in? Harmison is definately out of form. On current form Akhtar should be in instead of Harmi.
Strauss is an awesome attacking opener, but he might not be experienced enough to edge out the experienced Fleming or Tendulkar.
Pollock definately does not count as a pace bowler any more. He's a real all-rounder who can bowl well.
Do you think that team can beat oz? Maybe, that's not a bad team...

Friggin Boucher (who is in the side because we lack experience in the middle-lower order) lost us that one. 3 runs off 6 balls? He needed to get a single and the game was won.
We seem to have forgotten how to win.

SA would've won that WC, if we could just get past the god damned aussies.
