6) Andrew Symonds

Andrew Symonds was the quintessential Australian cricketer, an aggressive player as well as an imposing personality. One fact though remains that he was a high-class ODI player.

When Wasim Akram tormented the Australian batting in 2003 ODI World Cup, Symonds stood tall and scored a brilliant century against a frightening Pakistani bowling attack. He was a crucial part of both 2003 and 2007 ODI World Cup victories for Australia.

Symonds scored 5,088 runs in 198 ODIs at an average of 39.75 and a strike rate of 92.44. He also picked up 133 wickets with his seam up and off spin bowling. Symonds will be the second allrounder alongside Watson in this team. A brilliant striker of the ball, he will be surely an asset to this team batting at number six.
