Australia have released theirs, complete with T20 Big Bash League Franchise alignments:
George Bailey (Capt, Hobart Hurricanes)
Dan Christian (Brisbane Heat)
Nathan Coulter-Nile (Perth Scorchers)
James Faulkner (Melbourne Stars)
Aaron Finch (Melbourne Renegades)
Brad Haddin (Sydney Sixers)
Brad Hodge (Melbourne Stars)
Brad Hogg (Perth Scorchers)
Glenn Maxwell (Melbourne Stars)
James Muirhead (Melbourne Stars)
Mitchell Johnson (Brisbane Heat)
Mitchell Starc (Sydney Sixers)
David Warner (Sydney Thunder)
Shane Watson (Brisbane Heat)
Cameron White (Melbourne Stars).

Brad Hodge to sign up to CW to like this post, IMO.

Agree, but McKay is the only Vic quick I know.

Maybe Merv or the bowlologist?

Serious question....what's the ideal 20/20 lineup? Hardly ever see anyone bat below number 6 or 7. At least in the BB games I watched.

There really is no place for accumulator type batsmen. If you can't consistently hit over the fence, later.

Surely Cam White has to open. Was a monster in the BBL

Yeah the BBL is cute and all that, but Finch, Warner and Watson have been beasts at much higher levels.

Went by place of birth, which technically makes Moises ineligible but whatever, keeps noted Victorian Dan Christian out of the XI and noted Dutchman Tom Cooper out of the squad.
