230 runs XI

Michael Slater
Herschelle Gibbs
Brian Lara (C)
Gundappa Vishwanath
Yuvraj Singh
Wasim Bari(wk)
Brett Lee
Rangana Herath
Shane Bond
Hasan Ali
Glenn McGrath

Bit light on batting. But I should be able to make up with my bowling lineup.My genuine quicks can run through best batting line-ups, proven bowlers in multi national comps.

Lots of batting to be done by Gibbs,Lara and Yuvi 3 of whom are good decent bats.Slater,Vishwanath are classy bats, who couldn't make their in 50 overs. But can definitely play the supporting roles and keep any collapses at bay.

Nothing much to be said in the bowling department.5 genuine bowlers with proven track records.All of whom are useful with the bat, with the notable exception being Glen McGrath.

Lee,Herath,Bond are decent lower order bats, who will make sure the total if we are batting first at least gets up to 250.

As we all know for any great team, regardless of the format, an acrobatic keeper who rarely miss anything is a must. That is why Wasim Bari is the keeper of this side, to keep to the seam movement of Pidgeon, pace of Lee and Bond, the up & coming Hasan Ali and to to the slow left arm of Herath and Yuvi..

Most teams seem to be slightly low on the batting side, wondering if 245ish is a better cut-off.

 

[Himannv]

Yeah, 230 was really tough to work with because you end up picking a lot of mediocre batsmen and plenty of bowlers to justify the criteria. Either way, the premise of the draft still works as it still involves picking the best team considering the criteria given.
