Hey mate, as you're not participating in the 'mixed experience' draft, I'm keen to get your opinion on the make-up up of my final XI and specifically, who I omit as 12th man.
My 12 are;
Ranjitsinhji/Trevor Goddard
Graeme Smith
Ranjitsinhji/ Root
Sachin Tendulkar
Everton Weekes
AB de Villiers +
Chris Cairns (5)
Richard Hadlee (1)
Johnny Briggs (4)
Jason Gillespie (3)
Alec Bedser (2)
I'm tossing up between maintaining Goddard as a specialist opener and 2nd spinner (after Briggs), batting Ranji at 3 and leaving Root out, or alternatively dropping Goddard (since I have Briggs as the first choice spinner) and then open with Ranji with Root at 3, or finally, for perhaps the deepest batting line up ever, leaving Briggs out, opening with Ranji and moving Goddard to bat at 7 (as the sole spinner) followed by Cairns, Hadlee & Gillespie at 8,9 & 10. Cheers in advance.
