K Pieterson
K Sangakarra (WC)
B Hogg
M Muralitharan
Malinga
Bracken
Mcgrath

12th man

M Clarke

S Styris and M Clarke can consider themselves unlucky not to be in this team. I put Sanga in cause he had an excellent WC with the gloves. Gilly was great in the final of course

Good team but you should have one more batsman (all rounder) in.

Smith and Bracken are the only ones I might get rid of.

Agree that Sangakarra instead of Gilly because Gilly didn't do much with the bat untill the final.

Gilly can replace muppet so you have your keeper and Clarke to replace Sanga. Sanga's form with the bat was patchy though he generally kept well but Clarke deserves a spot for his consistency. Muppet has to go and it could have been Gilly or Jaya with the former just receiving the nod.

i didnt include an allrounder as such cause Hogg was the 5th bowler.

Clarke was good and consistent yes, however i thought Sangakarra was the man for the gloves ahead of Gilly.

Cant leave Bracken out, i thought he was superb

Its your team and you can select who you like but Gilly scored more runs at a better average and a higher strike rate plus he took more catches and more stumpings than Sangakkara. Gilly was overall much better in all disiplines.

Yeah, I really can't see why Sanga would get a game here - Gilly led in dismissals for all keepers across the tournament, and had a better series with the bat.
