Really happy with my team. Steyn+Alderman+Procter+Finn+Kallis+Woolley is an outstanding attack. I would open with Alderman due to his brilliant ability to swing the new ball. Procter would come on soon enough. Manjrekar might look funky opening, but I really feel as though he had the sort of game where he could have easily opened. Kumar is quite rightfully getting the recognition he deserves and Kallisball is a gun. Woolley is like Keith Miller with the bat IMO and Nip Pellew isn't the absolute worst specialist batsman. Procter at 7 is an absolute beast too.

Decent top 4 and a good keeper. Plus Roberts-Hawke-Tayfield-Toshack isn't that bad. Just need to slot a another batsman in ahead of Boucher.

Bit of a **** team really.

Batting is pretty much reliant on the top three all firing, because while the team may bat deep there's not an awful lot of difference between 5-9 in quality. Bowling is basically down to Hall, Vaas and Titmus.

I would get rid of Close or Watkins and bring in Hilfenhaus if I had your squad Weeman. I don't think that there is anything wrong with More+Titmus+Vaas between 7-9.
