Pick a combo- third test

[Red]

Comp: elect a combo of 11 players who you think will impact the third test the most.

1 run = 1 point

1 wicket = 30 points

1 catch/stumping = 5 points

Teams should contain 5 batsmen, 1 all rounder, 1 keeper and 4 bowlers. CBF clarifying these clearly, just play within the spirit of the thing. Teams to be posted before the test begins.

Assuming Ali counts as a bowler since OP did it

Sure. Has been their frontline spinner and batted at 8 in the first two tests.

By this scoring system the player of the series so far is Moeen Ali, followed by Johnson and then Root. I guess two disciplines is a big plus.

2. Cook
3. Smith

5. Voges
6. Moeen
7. Nevill if selected, otherwise Buttler
8. Starc
9. Wood
10. Lyon
11. Anderson

What says everyone?

 

[Howe_zat]

Since Marsh has been put at five, I reckon Dan has picked him as a batsman. So he gets points for runs but not wickets

 

[Compton]

Don't think you can have both Stokes and Marsh as all-rounders.

They're both batting all-rounders who bowl fairly quick seam and act as change strike bowlers in their side. They both also have the exact same batting style. They're probably about as similar as any two players across the sides in terms of role and style.
