World Twenty20 XI

AMEN - Hear, hear - QFT. That's where I think this 'all dominating' Aussie side is at it weakest at present. If Watson, Smith or one of the 3 quicks gets targeted then Michael Clarke/Dave Hussey is the only backup. I don't like that. At present the 3 quicks are shielding the lack of depth by taking a LOT of wickets early. If Pakistan are 0/1 maybe even only 2 down after 6-8-10 overs then I think that depth might be sorely tested.

Just wanted to quote myself - damn I'm good.

Pietersen at 3 ahead of Raina tbh. Still not convinced by Raina against the short delivery. I'd personally possibly go with Warner and Gayle at the top, bin Raina and move Watson to 4. Don't really like Dhoni in the side either, but there aren't many options in T20i's really, so that one's an OK pick. None of the keepers have stood up and done well surprisingly. Akmal and Kieswetter, probably the 2 worst glovemen in the competition have been the only 2 to do anything with the bat. Daniel Vettori > Shahid Afridi too. Other than that it's perfect

My latest attempt at an XI:

David Warner
Shane Watson
Kevin Pietersen
Cameron White
Eoin Morgan
Brendon McCullum/Kumar Sangakkara/MS Dhoni +
Michael Hussey
Daniel Vettori
Lasith Malinga
Dirk Nannes
Shaun Tait

What changed your mind to include them?
