Ponsford demonstrated on a couple of occasions that he could cope with Larwood. There's no reason for me to believe Ponsford doesn't have the ability to break even against quick bowlers.

Jackson's exceptional talent will see him carve up the pace bowlers with glorious leg glances and (sadly lacking the modern era) late cuts.


Fail to get Ponsford early, and watch as him and Lara put on a partnership worth about 500 runs.

And my batting depth goes down to 10, with genuine all rounders at 8 and 9. Hard team to bowl out for under 400.

Hahaha.

5 "class" bowlers?

Spikey picked Darren Lehmann just to cool the mood in the dressing room.

Good concept. Have had to think a bit about my last few choices.

Well done Marcuss.

Cyril Walters	11 Tests	784 Runs @52.26
KS Duleep	12 Matches	995 Runs @ 58.52
Graeme Pollock	23 Matches	2256 Runs @60.97	4 Wickets @ 50.57
Stanley Jackson	20 Matches	1415 Runs @48.79	24 Wickets @ 33.29
Adam Gilchrist	96 Matches	5570 Runs @ 47.60
Sir Ian Botham	102 Matches	5200 Runs @ 33.54	383 Wickets @ 28.40
Sir Richard Hadlee	86 Matches	3124 Runs @ 27.16	431 Wickets @ 22.29
Jim Laker	46 Matches	676 Runs @ 14.08	183 Wickets @ 21.24
-
Jack Cowie	9 Matches	90 Runs @ 10.00	45 Wickets @ 21.53
-

Budget (+W) 87 Matches, 6167 Runs, 44 Wickets.

Damn, only 76 Matches between the top 5, that has to be some sort of record. 3rd to last for the next round is really going to hurt.

I feel more or less all teams are equal (except GIMH who has picked pretty much the same team that lost last ashes 5-0 )

 

[Garson007]

Come on guys. Decide - before you decide on my choices.

5 class bowlers are better than 4 and my 4th bowler is a better batsman than most of your keepers and my keeper is a better batsman than most of your batsmen

On the flip side, most of their batsmen are probably better keepers than your keeper.

 

[GIMH]

Guys does anyone know how much of my budget is left?
