can I pick 11 Aussies?

THAT's not the Dream Team.

The real Dream Team is:

Elliott (as he is now)
Warner (with two black eyes)
Bruce Francis
Yallop
North
Symonds (pissed)
Zoehrer
Lee (preferably as he is now)
Tait
McGain
McKay

They'd probably still win, mind.

Why? Every Aussie on here has England as the favourites.

What could we put together to challenge that lot?

Lathwell
Curtis
Bopara
Key
Afzaal
Capel
Rhodes
Harmison (06/07)
Ormond
McCague
Kerrigan

Sorry, but we win the Ashes of Shite hands down.

(Revised selection as Ian Salisbury never actually played an Ashes Test, and one "yippy" spinner is more than enough, though two in tandem would be entertaining...)

Merls can rattle his rattle and eat bacon 'n' egg again then!

Oz Fanasty* team over 'recent' years, post 60's:

(qualifications - played in an Ashes Test, post-1967)

Bruce Francis (captain)
Ken Eastwood
Paul Hibbert
Les Joslin
Graeme Watson
Phil Carlson
Graeme Manou
Alan Thomson
Greg Campbell
Chris Matthews
Michael Beer

* like Fantasy, but nasty

Go on then - I'm in. Let's see if I can compound my Ashes misery by finishing flat last at fantasy cricket too.

As there's only three sign ups so far, I feel like I'm a chance of a podium place...

too soon to enter, surely?

unlimited changes before the test starts

OK, I think I'm in. So far it's just the usual suspects:

embee
Nath
pieman
Dello

where are you skully? Zat? Zim?

That's my nailed-on bronze f*cked.

Marty, did you invite ex-FB members Zat and Zim? Thinking that they might still participate in this.

Right, Zim is in ('colostomy bag XI') and Zat is 'onto it'.

The 500 equivalent of misere?

I have been urged to join, but I'm so shit at these things. I'd probably jonah whoever I selected, so I'd rather not. Sorry guys.

Right now I'm the lone Pom in a sea of Strinos.

It's gangbang o'clock.

Come on, brave English comrades - back a brother up.

I am 'ere, Cap'n Courageous. What is you be wishin' me to be doin'?

Use the Collingwood strategy (AFL , not Scorcher variety)

Pick the nuffs you want to fail (Watson and 10 others)

If they fail you have successfully woofed them

If they do go good you have some fantasy cricket bragging rights

There should be a Woody's Sock XI.

Six in.

Come on, we can squeeze a few more in. For the shiz and the gigz.

Call yourself cricket lovers...

Why would I want to predict a blowbang? Why would I want to put my faith in two Englishmen and 9 quntfaced shitmunching squinty Neanderthal Australasian wankarsed qunty balls?

Did I not mention the shiz and gigz?

What else motivates a man?

Elle MacPherson, apparently

Well, we haven't all had our fill, I imagine you've been beating them off with sticks for decades and you're utterly sick of their attention, but I still find them interesting. Elle may not look as she did at 19, but she's still a fine looking woman.

More seriously, get in there Bradman, Ange, Danny, Smerk, Pete, Henry, et al.

You can choose a couple of Saffies, Dan, if you don't go much on Poms.
