Mr. Glass
Sidhu at 4 to tackle spin bowling. Boon at his usual no.3 spot. Will shift Amla to no.2 now.

I left my wicket keeper until last and will grab Tillakaratne Dilshan to take the gloves for my side.
Somerset XI
Gordon Greenidge
Tillakaratne Dilshan
Gary Kirsten
Jacques Kallis
Mohammad Yousuf
Damien Martyn
Imran Khan
Shaun Pollock
Sarfraz Nawaz
Terry Alderman
Ajantha Mendis
Overall pleased with my side, combination of aggressive strokemakers and technically correct batsmen, and a bowling attack which is unlikely to give away easy runs.

You might want to swap positions between Kirsten and Dilshan. You have a pretty solid middle order but Dilshan can do a handy job in the middle order...
Overall a very good team mate!

Which would benefit both of us, definately. But alas, this is the way it has fallen.
WHAT?! Haha, was SO sure he had been taken. Dangggggggg

BoyBrumby

Think I'm going with
Justin Kemp to add some middle order biffing and another seam option:
1) Chris Gayle*
2) Kamran Akmal+
3) Graeme Hick
4) Ramnaresh Sarwan
5) Andrew Symonds
6) Graham Thorpe
7) Justin Kemp
8) Lance Klusener
9) Darren Gough
10) Derek Underwood
11) Fanie de Villiers

Irfan Pathan.
Wanted a bowler and he gives the left arm variation and batting ability to render me almost tailess with test double centurion Gillespie at 11.
1 Saeed Anwar
2 Herschelle Gibbs
3 Kumar Sangakkara (+)
4 Yuvraj Singh
5 Mohammed Azharuddin
6 Shoaib Malik
7 Ian Botham
8 Irfan Pathan
9 Malcolm Marshall
10 Shane Warne (c)
11 Jason Gillespie
Really wish I had got Watto instead of Malik but other than that I am reasonably happy. Would definitely not pick Sanga as early next time.

I considered maintaining opening with the two classical players in Greenidge and Kirsten but thought Dilshan's explosiveness at the top of the order would be better utilised than in the middle - theres always Imran and Pollock to smash quick runs at the death. If he fails then Kirsten and his compatriot Kallis should be able to steady things.
Macca.
I was looking through wicket keeping options the round before last and it was a gamble (IMO) to take Sarfraz Nawaz in round ten and leave Dilshan until round eleven - though I too was surprised players like McCullum and Haddin went in round seven but Dilshan was almost a non-selection.

I like that side, and on the subcontinent it'll be deadly with Warne and a host of Indian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan players at the top and middle of your batting order. Botham and Marshall gives you great batting depth and a superb bowling combination.

Yeah, but IMO one top class batsman (Lara, Tendulkar, Ponting etc.) short. Love the bowling attack and batting depth though. Only Irfan going for more than 4.5 an over and all batsman strike at 75 or more. Plus, both openers have good 50/100's conversion rates.
Still, think there are one or two sides that have a bit more class overall.
