Teuton, Pothas, AndrewB. Mostly balanced sides and rather even at the face of it, so went with the best bowling attacks IMO.

AndrewB, Trundler, Teuton!

This was quite difficult to vote on. I think I've changed my vote at least 3 times now.

Haha, you withdrew your vote to my team. Fair enough though, I am not expecting too many votes. Did poorly in this draft. Didn't have a real strategy throughout.

 

[Himannv]

Haha, you withdrew your vote to my team. Fair enough though, I am not expecting too many votes. Did poorly well in this draft. Didn't have a real strategy throughout.

Ah, sorry about that mate. I've changed it multiple times. Lots of very good teams I think. Now that I've looked at yours again, I feel like changing it back to you.

 

[ankitj]

Voted for Teuton, Pothas and trundler – 3 most balanced sides.

 

[Pothas]

Haha, you withdrew your vote to my team. Fair enough though, I am not expecting too many votes. Did poorly in this draft. Didn't have a real strategy throughout.

Got a vote from me. Like the bowling a lot.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Teuton, AndrewB, Trundler

If I had been allowed a 4th vote it would've been Pothas - another fine side.

 

[AndrewB]

Congratulations to trundler, bad luck to Teuton, and thanks to all for taking part.

 

[ankitj]

Congrats trundler

 

[trundler]

Thanks, lads. Was a very fun draft so thanks for running, Andrew. Chuffed.
