Russ has selected a strong team…
Hayden (Obvious choice as opener))
Boon (Great batsman that couldn’t make my team batting 3 or 4 and did open for Australia)
Ponting ( I think Aust best batsman since Bradman)
Chappell G ( His statistics got him cross the line)
Waugh S (tough batsman – would never give his wicket away)
Border – Captain (Gritty batsman mentally strong, turned rabble of a side to world class)
Gilchrist ( Best keeper/batsman that has ever played the game)
Warne (Best spin bowler the world has ever seen)
Thompson (Last bowler picked – his aggression and the fear that he put in the opposition batsman)
Lillee (My first cricket idol)
McGrath (equal best bowler Aust has had with Lillee)
Johnson ( On his day is the best bowler in the world – doesn’t show it enough
