Champions Trophy - Fantasy League!

The Champions Trophy starts in just over a week, so I thought I'd introduce a little Fantasy League for a bit of fun. 

Essentially, you all pick your Dream XI from the 8 squads, plus 2 reserves. So please give me 13 names, clearly stating who your reserves are. You need to pick at least one wicketkeeper, at least 5 who can bowl, and at least 3 actual batsmen. Also you can select a captain, who will earn double points! Finally, you must select at least one player from every team in your 13. 

----

I will calculate the points as follows: 

Batting: 1 point per run. 5 bonus points per 25 runs. For strike rate, I'll factor in (Runs - Balls Faced). This will be doubled if positive and halved if negative. Then I'll add one point per four hit and three points for a six. Finally, a duck will be worth -20 points. 

So, scoring 47 off 35 balls, with 2 fours and a six is worth: 47 + 5 + 24 + 5 = 81 points.

----

For bowling: 20 points per wicket, +5 bonus for a second wicket, +10 bonus for a third etc. Economy: (7 - Runs per over, to the nearest 0.5), doubled if positive). Dot balls will be worth a point each, and a maiden worth 15. 

So for example, figures of 3-32 off 8 overs featuring 2 maidens and 23 dot balls is worth: 75 + 6 + 23 + 30 = 134 points

As well as this, catches and run outs will be worth 15 pts and stumpings 20 pts.

-----

Additionally, every round of matches, people can make up to 3 changes to their team. For the semi finals and final, you can make 6 changes. 

The rounds are:

1-4 June, 5-8 June, 9-12 June, 13-15 June. 

I hope this makes sense, if not please feel free to ask queries! Just post your team below and I'll give regular updates as it goes along :)

My team: Warner, de Kock (k), de Villers, Kohli, Root (c), Smith, Williamson, Stokes, Morris, Shakib Al Hasan, Rahman, Tahir. Reserves: Mathews, Amir.
