[weldone]

Weldone's XI so far:
Jack Hobbs
Ken Barrington
KS Ranjitsinhji
Kapil Dev
Godfrey Evans+
Iqbal Qasim
Neil Adcock
JohnSnow

A pace bowling lineup of Adcock, Snow and Kapil looks very impressive. Qasim isn't the best spinner of all-time, but he is OK as the spin option in my team. I guess I don't need any more bowlers in my team, one more bowling option will come as a bonus.

I considered Kapil but the issue with him is that I don't think he is a good enough #6.. I can pick him if I get an ace keeper like Flower or Sanga or even Gilly who can bat at 6.

Kapil is a gun no. 7, though

I am taking him as my first change bowler, I think. As I said my pace bowling lineup looks strong enough with Adcock, Snow and Kapil. There will probably be 6 batsmen before Kapil, and if one of them is a part-time bowler that'd be a bonus.

 

[weeman27bob]

XI of pending doom

1. Len Hutton*
2. Bob Simpson
3.
4. Dudley Nourse
5. C.B. Fry
6. Tony Greig
7. Farokh Engineer
8.
9.
10. Hedley Verity
11. Derek Underwood

Could really do with some pacemen now. An opening attack of Fry and Greig sounds somewhat dubious.

 

[Cevno]

Anil Kumble

Mohammad Azharuddin
Aubrey Faulkner

[Joao]

Great stupid flood ruins downstairs and now has taken Kapil off me

I'll pick in a minute. Haven't had a chance to research anything yet.

 

[Joao]

Would have loved Kapil but have to settle for

Monty Noble

Need an opener and so almost picked another current player but decided Monty is probably the better cricketer.

1.
2.
3. Amla
4. Tendulkar
5. Clarke
6. Gilchrist
7. Noble
8. Illingworth
9. Steyn

Short some openers pretty bad it seems. Hashim has done it occasionally hasn't he?

If anyone think they've been unfairly treated by the random draft order, give me a shout and I'll try and even things up in the next few rounds.

 

[kingkallis]

You've been pretty good so far so I dont think anybody will complain.
