Loving this side.. all 4 varieties of spinners (leg spin, off spin, chinamen and SLA) two fast medium bowlers who can swing the ball to open the bowling, one round arm fast bowler and a left arm fast medium bowler to follow them.. And one of the greatest openers of all time and one of the greatest middle order batsmen of all time along with one of the greatest allrounders of all time...

 

[Camo999]

Mohammad Yousef (90 tests) I suppose. Good player but gee there were some champions in the first few picks this round.

I'll take Graham Thorpe to add some grit to my middle order. Great batsman who was one of the most successful ever against McGrath/Warne/Gillespie. Says it all.

Indeed, tragically underrated player by many.

 

[WalkingWicket]

I'll take Brendon McCullum, 94 tests, to bat seven and add some belligerence to my side. Won't keep, that'll be Flower's job.

[J_C]

Michael Clarke.

 

[mr_mister]

the coolest part about this round 12 stuff is it'll test our ability at selecting even more. who gets cut to the bench for 12th man? haha. has a draft had a 12th man before?

 

[kingkallis]

Yeah there were a few.

 

[WalkingWicket]

In a bit of a pickle for my last three selections, I need a third fast bowler, a top-class batsman and an all-rounder, so, for this round, I'll go for Chaminda Vaas to bat 8 and share the new ball with Wes Hall.

 

[kingkallis]

He was a decent bat as well.
