Jimmy, this has been an excellent idea for a draft. Ive loved being able to go back and forth quickly with my 4 opponents.

I think Andrew did well with this question as it was the first time this comp I drafted without knowing all the options available, and I have to say it showed.

I do really rate my batting/top 7. Its a very classy bunch of batsman so I think batting first, my team would score good runs and then it would all be up to my spin duo to win it.

Andrews quicks are without doubt better than mine though!
