Ghostwritten stories of Flintoff being wicketkeeper in practice will have to do

Faf is mates with AB and AB can keep so Faf probably can too.

Super happy to have picked up Wasim in R11. Made what was looking like a pretty mediocre attack into something at least a bit formidable.

Thanks for running this Howe.

Brett Schultz (1) Love the side. Left and Right arm Fast as well as Fast Medium bowlers. Specialist Keeper. A leggie and an offie for turners. Reasonable depth with bat and ball. All in all, not too shabby at all for a Mystery Box Draft mostly full of duds. And one ATG ODI batsman to boot.

Lindsay Hassett
Bill Edrich*
Johnny Bairstow
Intikhab Alam (5)
Asif Iqbal (3)
Jock Cameron +
Garth Mckenzie (2)
Ian Bishop (1)
Suleiman Benn (4)

Pretty balanced side, this.Good batting line-up, and bats deep with a good wicketkeeper-bat. Would have preferred another pace option instead of either Asif or Intikhab, but works overall.
