Ok well most of that is understandable but why not Noffke? He is easily the best all rounder in the country t the moment.

Whilst Noffke is arguably the best all-rounder in the country I dont believe he is in the best 11.

Australia would not play 2 quicks, a spinner and an all-rounder, and his batting is not good enough for number 6.

I think Australia's best 11 is 6 batsmen, keeper, 1 spinner and 3 quicks.
Fairly standard team I know.

CA seem to be obsessed with getting an all-rounder in the team, and whilst im all for that, the all-rounder needs to be able to; to a high enough standard be able to hold his own as either batsmen or bowler.

Well I have Noffke at 8 at the moment so he could be one of the quicks.

Whilst the batting depth with Noffke at 8 would be good, imo it would leave our bowling a little weak.

Maybe Noffke in the test side because he averages just over 28 but someone else in the one day side, like Bracken.
 
Re: Australias REAL best XI

I'm pretty sure that Phil Jacques and Ashley Noffke are both injured so that's why I didn't include them.

1. Michael Klinger
2. Chris Rogers
3. Simon Katich
4. Michael Hussey (VC)
5. Michael Clarke (C)
6. Andrew Symonds
7. Shane Watson
8. Brad Haddin
9. Brett Lee
10. Mitchell Johnson
11. Jason Kreja

Yeah I meant if nobody was injured. McGain is injured as well and that's why Krejza made his awesome debut.

Well if nobody was injured i would drop Rogers for Jacques and Watson for Noffke.

And to reply to the other guy above, I didn't put Ponting in because he's been playing terribly and doesn't deserve a spot in the team much like Hayden.
