I think naming 30 and raising the hopes of a bunch of players who have no chance of making the last 15 is a bad idea.

Batsmen.
Bell, Kieswetter, Hales, Taylor, Ballance, Morgan, Buttler, Vince.

All Rounders
Woakes, Stokes, Moeen.

Bowlers.
Anderson, Broad, Plunkett, Will Gidmam, Footitt, Finn, Rankin, Tredwell.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

I think the lack of a keeper is the more worrying bit about his team!

I re-read the post twice trying to check if I was being stupid or not, couldn't see a keeper and then posted. Obviously blind. Ignore me...

My 3o for Oz;

Batsmen; Aaron Finch, Dave Warner, George Bailey, Cameron White, Steve Smith, Chris Lynn, Shaun Marsh, Usman Khawaja, Callum Ferguson, Adam Voges

All-rounders; Shane Watson, Mitchell Marsh, James Faulkner, Glenn Maxwell, Moises Henriqes

Wicket-keepers; Brad Haddin, Matthew Wade, Ben Dunk

Spinners; Xavier Doherty, Nathan Lyon

Seamers; Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jackson Bird, Kane Richardson, Ben Cutting, Josh Hazlewood, Gurinder Sandhu, Sean Abbott

That'll do. A pretty handy pool of players there. The selectors will have quite a job getting that down to 15. I've left Michael Clarke out because I reckon he's finished.
