Don't worry that's them out of it!

Australia have included controversial English all-rounder Andrew Symonds in their 15-man squad for the World Twenty20 in England, which starts on 5 June.

So, we can write them off. The rest of the squad is...

Ricky Ponting (c), Michael Clarke (vc), Nathan Bracken, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ben Hilfenhaus, James Hopes, David Hussey, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Peter Siddle, Andrew Symonds, David Warner, Shane Watson

Jardine's Verdict: On paper a strong squad. In reality? They are no longer invincible despite the emergence of the prodigously talented Mitchell Johnson. Michael 'Mr Cricket' Hussey is a liability and Symonds is drinking his way through the wine list in the last chance saloon. Brett Lee, out for too long, too slow and a surely only picked on history not form. David Warner the new 'Slogging Sensation' is too hit and miss and the lack of a steadying slow bowler is their real achilles heel.
