Actually i'd pick Lyon and one of our best T20 Big Bash bowlers, either Fawad Ahmed or Mitchell Swepson. Both have been very good. Leggies have done well in the BBL. Rashid proved to be trouble in the recent ODI series. I'd play two spinners these days. Australian have to move with the times in regards to ODIs.

Agree on the spinners, the leggies do well in the BBL and even Moeen Ali who cant spin a ball to save himself is harder to hit than some of our quicks because the pace is off the ball and he just fires the ball in looking to concede singles with the field set back.
Agree also on Lyon and I like Swepson but I dont want a tail of bowlers who cant bat so I would probably go Lyon and Agar.

On another cricket issue I reckon Chad Sayers has been real unlucky not to get a touring spot to SA....I think his bowling is very Philander like and he would also do well in England.
He is different to our other quicks in that he pitches the ball up and looks for seam and swing rather than banging the ball in trying to bounce batsman and I think we need variety.
Not a fan of Trevor Hohns and while he has picked Paine and Marsh to good effect this series I think he plays favorites and often players get overlooked who are not either popular with other players or who dont have the right connections and I reckon Sayers omission has more to do with the fact he is good mates with Darren Berry who has had a long running battle with Trevor Hohns.
