[JOJOXI]

Unless I've missed a pick mr_mister was up next instead of CricAddict so Hamid Hassan is still available atm

@mr_mister

 

[honestbharani]

I hope @honestbharani is proud of my number of all rounders.

Everyone sees the light, eventually.

 

[mr_mister]

Sean Ervine

 

[JOJOXI]

@CricAddict

 

[CricAddict]

A double pick. Nice.

Lamichhane would have been the ideal pick for me here but I do not want to take the rapist, so I'll go for Simi Singh of Ireland who has a really good bowling record with an average of 25 and economy of less than 4 playing mostly against test nations and can also bat well.

Hamid Hassan and Simi Singh to round up my XI.

 

[CricAddict]

Final team

The top 6 is well settled. 6-9 can provide the late order hitting. While the spin department is a bit weak, the batting and pacers should help cover that up along with some overs from Chappell.

Brian Lara
Saeed Anwar
Virat Kohli
Greg Chappell 6
Andy Flower
Jonny Bairstow (wk)
Shadab Khan 4
Simi Singh 5
Mitchell Starc 2
Hamid Hassan 3
Curtly Ambrose 1

 

[mr_mister]

Shikhar Dhawan
Herschelle Gibbs
Murray Goodwin
Aravinda De Silva 6
Jonty Rhodes
Dave Houghton+
Sean Ervine 5
Saqlain Mushtaq 4
Waqar Younis 1
Lasith Malinga 3
Joel Garner 2


Happy with my minnow players, all serviceable. Happy with my bowling. Missed out on a few big batting names by 1 pick, and miscalculated how many non minnows I had so missed my big target of Zaheer Abbas, who annoyingly went unpicked

 

[CricAddict]

Both Zaheer Abbas and Clive Lloyd went unpicked. Two of the best odi players of all time. Brad Hogg too.

 

[CricAddict]

The leftovers

01. Sourav Ganguly 1
02. David Warner
03. Zaheer Abbas 2
04. Richie Berrington a
05. Steve Waugh 3
06. Clive Lloyd (c) 4
07. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk) b
08. George Dockrell c
09. Brad Hogg
10. Darren Gough 5
11. Makhaya Ntini

 

[HookShot]

Just out of interest, did anyone consider that well known Papua New Guinean wicket-keeper Geraint Jones?

 

[HookShot]

And thanks to JOJOXI for being an excellent organiser, ring master.

 

[Line and Length]

Just out of interest, did anyone consider that well known Papua New Guinean wicket-keeper Geraint Jones?

Completely overlooked him. He would have been a good fit.
