Balanced Averages Budget draft

yeah ok, this is kind of the problem of this draft. I endeavoured to put 5 bowlers in my side, and my side is going to end up slightly worse than Pothas' and Magrat Garlick's. Only slightly due to a bowling average quirk I discovered myself, so it's not like I'm not an offender myself.

there are surprisingly few top class players without a wicket so it could have backfired badly if enough people caught on. was a calculated risk imo (plus there's always the chance the voters will damn us for foul play)

Yes. My initial plan was to just pick 6 batsmen and 4 bowlers with a keeper. Probably should have stuck with it in hindsight and I probably shot myself in the foot with the Mankad pick.
