I haven't looked at everyone's side very closely, but I would be surprised if anyone has a side better than this one.

Early days yet, but cheers!

Edrich would probably just constantly look stern and stoically shake his head. He'd be so busy disapproving from the other end that there'd be constant run outs.

That's presuming Sehwag feels like running, rather than just hitting fours.

 

[Cevno]

Talking about Sehwag and running,watching the Highlights from the 2003 WC final and he was playing so so well smashing everyone even Mcgrath around.

Had to take a unnecessary run and run himself out.

Seriously speaking, it's one of the things that's held him back in ODIs. Running can be so crucial in modern one-day cricket.

 

[Himannv]

Sigh, there goes Sanga.

I'll take Spofforth .

 

[kingkallis]

I was damn sure that Sobers, Sanga, Sutcliffe and Steyn would be First 4 picks. I was thinking about Sehwag or Spofforth and one other wickey possibly. Glad I could get Sanga.

 

[Himannv]

Yeah I expected Sanga to be second pick as well. Can understand Joao's reasoning though as he already had Gilchrist.

Anyways I dont think I need too many more fast bowlers with Imran, Holding and Spofforth already in the ranks.

 

[Howe_zat]

Really not sure why Sanga is so highly rated.

















Never even played for Yorkshire.

 

[Joao]

To be honest, I would have taken either Sutcliffe or Sehwag ahead of Sanga anyway but you can't bowl teams out without quality bowlers - see Australia.

If at any stage you feel fast bowling heavy, just send one my way and you can have Illingworth

Of all the people in your side...

Sometimes it's as though people aren't even listening to me.

He played for Yorkshire, what more do you want? Tell you what, I'll throw in Clarke for Immy?

 

[kingkallis]

HZ, Sanga is a class act.

ABdV dont want to keep in tests just so he can concentrate on his batting and thats how it should be, but thats another issue.

Sanga has done that for YEARS and its not easy to keep spinners like Murali when you are the No.3 batsman of your team.

The guy has a fantastic batting average of 55 and has scored against ALL countries. He also has scored 150 against ALL test playing nations. Only SRT, Steve Waugh and Sanga has achieved this.

Since when Sanga became purple???

 

[Himannv]

Looks like pink to me. Not happy at all with that and I object strenuously to this colouration.

I definitely didn't mean to pick that one.

I do remember being unsure of which colour I was meant to pick for him though. Is there a CW Etiquette?
