I make that everyone except Jager who is probably working out whether to play two spinners or not.

BTW Andy, great photo of Walters and Sobers not being very sober.

I'll post up the voting thread tonight hopefully - been so busy!

Just saying'....

 

[Himannv]

I have Lawry, Barrington and Imran in both the first Classic draft and this one. Interesting to notice patterns like this in my picking style.

 

[kyear2]

My only repeat players are Ponting and Croft. Wanted Dexter again as well but just missed out.

 

[kingkallis]

I always end up having Hayden, Marshall, Marsh in my teams and Haydos did appear in both my teams.

 

[watson]

I've noticed that as a general rule....

Himannv's teams seem to be blend of defensive batsman and attacking bowlers.

Kingkallis' teams tend to be attacking from top to bottom and normally contain two allrounders.

Monk's and Jager's teams tend to be a blend of classical and modern players.

Blakus' teams tend to be the most interesting with eclectic batting line-ups and bowling attacks.

Kyear's and Andy's teams tend to be well balanced and include three conventional fast bowlers and a dependable spinner.
