Warner and Kohli? Seriously???? Especially Warner. The guy is a dead duck everytime the ball deviates more than 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 mm.

I'd leave Wee Davey out in Asia for Cook. Surely Kohli is a valid pick?

QDK and Bairstow felt the closest match up.

Would like to have had Williamson in, but as a top order bat, he was squeezed out by Smith and Root.
