I am missing on the poll @Zinzan

I am missing on the poll @Zinzan

Yeah, we all agreed on that, remember?

(Nah, my aberration, you've since been added )

 

[Zinzan]

Guys - are we all happy if we make the rule that one can't vote for their own team? i.e either vote for someone else, or don't vote at all. Can't recall what the historic precedent is regarding self-voting in these polls.

I'm happy to go with the consensus. (perhaps I should have done a poll on that question first lol).

I mean, I thought that was the only decent thing to do and almost everyone (if not everyone) does so......

 

[capt_Luffy]

Pothas
SS
Thala
Luffy
Himmanv
CA
Bitmap

Top 7 in that order for me.

 

[Zinzan]

Pothas
SS
Thala
Luffy
CA
Bitmap

Top 6 in that order for me.

Yeah, I voted for Pothas too. Great side.

Thala_0710, Silver Silva, Pothas are top 3 teams. Voted for Thala because presence of Kallis gives immense balance and depth. Pothas had the same advantage with Sobers and batting down to #9. At the end Thala's team had 2 ATG batsmen in the lineup compared to one in Pothas team so that titled the scales.
