[Howe_zat]

You could argue harsh's side has one batsman, two bowlers, three keepers and five allrounders

 

[watson]

Seems a shame to turn an ATG spinner into a mediocre opener, especially when WG is waiting in the wings. Flintoff batted at No.6 in 2005 and did fine against McGrath/Lee and Warne. IMO......

Loving the Miller, Imran axis.

The openers might not quite match up to the rest but you don't get many tougher cricketers than most in that side.

Michael Holding or Mystery Box Allrounder

I wonder if anyone has done the CW50 research to find who was left this round.

 

[honestbharani]

No choice but the box.

Lighter on the batting as it turned out, but love the styles and amount of bowling I have. We will shoot most teams in this draft down to 250-300 which our batting should be more than good enough to score. So in summary these Honest Hunks​ will rule.

 

[WalkingWicket]

Hmmmm, bit of a problem. I've got three openers for two opening slots, but I can't just shunt one down to 3 because I've got Punter there. I'm thinking of going:

1. Jack Hobbs
2. Geoff Boycott
3. Ricky Ponting
4. Sachin Tendulkar (5)
5. Colonel His Highness Shri Sir Ranjithsinji Vibhaji, Maharajah Jam Saheb of Nawanag
6. Bruce Mitchell
7. Bert Oldfield +
8. Fred Trueman (2)
9. Ray Lindwall (3)
10. Dennis Lillee (1)
11. Allan Donald (4)

Not as good as it could have been when I had the four pacers plus Sachin and Ricky but hey, I'll take it.

 

[honestbharani]

Niiice...The old ICC move of shunting down an opener to 6.
