Probably not right, it's too obvious, but five Aussies in each ?

By the way, what do the numbers that follow some players' names mean?

They are the wickets taken by the bowlers. Actually I was making sure I got a very good side with variety in bowling so I wrote down the details for the bowlers and forgot to omit them when pasting here. Let it not mislead you. It has nothing to do with the answer.
