[CricAddict]

3 from these many teams is too tough. I am not able to decide 3 out of 6 teams.

 

[honestbharani]

Should just vote for the team that has a test centurion in every spot tbh.

 

[Line and Length]

I narrowed it down to 5. When voting for sides when Bradman was available, I always judge the great man on his last innings.

 

[ankitj]

Teuton, Bitmap and JOJO get my votes

Pothas was really really close too. Presence of Sobers tilted in favour of JOJO for the bronze?

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Ataraxia, AndrewB and Pothas in that order.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Very hard to choose, but
ataraxia is clearly no 1, followed by Bitmap and teuton.

 

[ataraxia]

Went Bitmap/Pothas/Teuton, which in hindsight was rather tactically incorrect . Shoutout to ankitj in particular for an absolutely stunning side I was unhappy to not choose.

 

[Pothas]

Bitmap with the Hadlee and McGrath combination is a clear one. After that I found it almost impossible but went Teuton and Trundler.

 

[kingkallis]

@Bitmap built a stunning team and as Pothas said, Hadlee & McGrath would be too tough to ignore.

@ataraxia used the available resources really well to deserve the vote.

Its hard to find any weakness in that well-rounded team of @Teuton so he gets the 3rd vote.

 

[HookShot]

JOJOXI
Teuton
Bitmap

 

[trundler]

Congratulations to @Bitmap

 

[kingkallis]

Congratulations @Bitmap & @Teuton

 

[honestbharani]

Congratulations @Bitmap & @Teuton

This.

 

[CricAddict]

Congrats @Bitmap @Teuton

 

[ankitj]

Congrats to winner and runner up. Two standout teams.

Bitmap picking Hadlee and McGrath should be illegal. To top it up with an ATG spinner makes me think what were rest of us doing. Teuton had an impossibly well balanced side. Too bad he came up 2nd place even with that side!

 

[Pothas]

My fault for picking Barry Richards.
