KInda forgot I could have moved Botham to 27-31 at some point rather than picking Vaas but meh. It's a fun(ny) team.

TBP in above table = To be picked



This is on the presumption that 'Other' players are not changed, but remember that you can change your 'Other' player to one of the averages if that specific average is still unpicked in your team.

Archer6K needs an Afghan, New Zealander or a Zimbabwean averaging 27-31 with the ball
AndrewB needs an Afghan, Bangladeshi or Irish player averaging 31+ with the ball.
Line and Length and Teuton have no restrictions.
mr_mister needs an Afghan, Bangladeshi or Irish player averaging 30-35 with the bat.
trundler needs an Afghan, Bangladeshi or Irish keeper.
Pothas needs an Afghan, Bangladeshi or Sri Lankan player averaging 39-43 with the bat
JOJOXI needs an Afghan, Irish or Zimbabwean player averaging 31+ with the ball.
Silver Silva requires any nationality player that averages 31+ with the ball.
Fuller Pilch requires an Afghan, Irish or New Zealander player averaging 31+ with the ball.
Bitmap requires a Bangladeshi, Irish or South African keeper averaging 35-39 with the bat






@Patience and Accuracy+Gut you require a Bangladeshi, Irish or Zimbabwean player averaging 35-39 with the bat. You cannot fulfill this requirement all 7 players who qualify have been picked. Would normally say adjust your most recent pick but given you made 3 catchup picks simultaneously, am happy for you to re-do any/all of those picks so you are in a position where you have an eligible final pick.

Am about to head to bed but having a quick look seems like it could be fiddly - a void of Sri Lankan keepers averaging 35-39 doesn't help matters otherwise would just suggest dropping Dickwella. Anyone with suggestions feel free to contribute.

International Captain
There may be better options but a look around a potential option is

Mohammad Nabi Afghanistan (31+ Bowl) stays as is


Kamran Akmal/Imtiaz Ahmed (30-35) Pakistani batter and keeper
Kevin Arnott Zimbabwe (43-47)
Michael Vandort (35-39) Sri Lankan bat - if you are specifically looking at an opener. A bigger name if you are not dead-set on an opener that fits mould.

@Patience and Accuracy+Gut
 

Line and Length

Cricketer Of The Year
I'm up after @Archer6K and @AndrewB and as neither can pick my intended 'other' I'll jump in now and complete my team.

My other is Ricky Ponting to bat at 3 and captain the side.

Jack Hobbs /
Virender Sehwag /
Ricky Ponting (c) /
Martin Crowe /
Shakib Al Hasan /o
Shahid Afridi /o
Tatenda Taibu w/k
Ravi Ratnayeke o
Peter Pollock o
Joel Garner o
Jeff Thomson o

Happy with this team. The batting line-up - particularly the top 4 - is very strong. The medium pace of Ratnayeke supports a potent pace trio while the spin duties is shared by two all-rounders in Shakib Al Hasan and Shahid Afridi.

Was considering Bashar as he's a specialist 3 but Mahmudullah is probably a bit more talented going by overall international records so will pop him in.

Hanif Mohammed
Sanath Jayasuriya
Gary Sobers
Allan Border *
Brendon McCullum+
Mahmudullah
Grant Flower
Maurice Tate
Curtly Ambrose
Allan Donald
Bhagwat Chandrasekhar


Happy with that. Was tossing up on the 3 spot for a while, both Border and Sobers spent most of their career 5-6 in the order.

But I think Sobers can afford to do a bit less bowling then he did in reality and be more of a specialist batsman with Tate, Ambrose and Donald in the team plus all the spin options. He did get his 365* there and averaged 72 in the spot albeit from only 17 innings

State Vice-Captain
Since nobody can pick an RSA bat averaging 35-39, I'll jump in and take Denis Lindsay.

Geoffrey Boycott
Gary Ballance
George Headley

Glorious 3-5 and an excellent attack but the real debate is who bats at 9. Broad or Harbhajan?
