[Himannv]

Lot of good teams there but will vote for Pothas. His team stands out a bit from the rest. Good job by him.

 

[Daemon]

Himanv and Pothas both have great sides.

 

[Athlai]

Himmanv has an outstanding side, clear winner.

Zaremba the runner-up though.

 

[Daemon]

Zaremba the runner-up though.

I wonder why you'd say that *cough* vettori *cough* bond *ahem*

It really wasn't, Vettori in particular is pretty meh in that lineup. McGrath + Lara + Flower makes a heck of a foundation to any team and it is rounded out quite nicely.

 

[fredfertang]

Pothas has the best bowling attack for me, but honourable mentions to Zaremba and Furball - can't split 'em for second

 

[Daemon]

Boring.

Voted for Pothas and Himanv on the basis of their bowling attacks, as well as the fact that they have Dravid and Steyn respectively.

 

[Howe_zat]

Couldn't split Pothas, Zaremba and Himmanv. Pothas has the best bowling attack, Himmanv has probably the strongest middle order with Murali to bowl, but Zaremba has the best balanced side and I think I'd want to watch that side the most too.

Random thought: Zaremba's XI would also kick everyone else's to kingdom come if this were an ODI draft.

Other awards:

Best opening pair - GingerFurball
Best batting depth - Zaremba
Best bowling depth - weeman27bob
Most Players Out of Position - centurymaker
Best 12th Man - Howe_zat

 

[weldone]

Pothas clearly has the best team. But I wanted to vote for more than one team, so voted for GingerFurball too.

 

[Joao]

I voted Pothas 1st, and Zaremba 2nd as I thought of them in that order but then when I realised Zaremba could drop dead-weight Symonds for Streak and Shuffle Vettori and Flintoff up I decided that was my favourite.

Zaremba for me.

 

[Outswinger@Pace]

Good sides most of 'em. Himmanv and Pothas have two excellent sides (esp. the bowling is killer) and are my top two.

The Gilchrist factor and a very powerful middle order makes me choose Howe_zat as the third contender.


Honourable mention to Zaremba's team which looks like a fantastic outfit, except for the fact that the batsmen below Flower are not the most reliable. It's possibly the best ODI unit of all the teams listed though.

 

[zaremba]

Blakus / Pews came up with an awesome side despite being about 5 rounds behind due to Pews honouring his civic duty. They get my vote.

I do like my squad though! Only the 2nd draft I've done. Have loved them both.

I do like my squad though! I should explain that Symonds and Gibbs owed their selection largely to their fielding skills.

[Joao]

I still reckon you should can Symonds for Streak. Symonds was amazingly lucky to score the test runs he did and against the sort of quality in this draft I don't reckon he'd score too many more than Streak anyway and obviously as a Bowler Streak >>>>>>> Symonds. Symonds would be a damn fine 12th man though.

 

[morgieb]

Pothas is clearly the best, IMO.

 

[Hurricane]

Himanv's bowling attack contained some players I have a penchant for so give him the nod on personal bias.

 

[Howe_zat]

Bumpity bump.

Pothas the winner?

 

[Himannv]

By a fairly clear margin IMO.

 

[NUFAN]

Pothas and Himanv had the best teams for my money. If Himanv just changes Inzaman and Clarke around in the batting order I might have actually voted for him.
