[Somerset]

Probably need a few bowling options so I'll have Makhaya Ntini

Barry Richards

Sir Viv Richards
Martin Crowe
Mohammad Yousuf
Mahela Jayawardene

Kapil Dev

Makhaya Ntini

 

[Red]

Going to consolidate my pace bowling stocks (because I think they'll disappear rapidly now, and there's still a few decent batsmen left). My next pick would have been Ntini, but I think McDermott is about his equal.

Craig McDermott.- Very good pace bowler who was Australia's best between Lillee and McGrath.

Stuart MacGill

Well played. I was planning on a double pronged spin assault, thinking everyone would forget MacGill. Went for Vettori first though because I wanted batting strength through #7 and 8. Really good match winning spinner...

[Saint Kopite]

Whats the draw for next two rounds?

 

[Agent TBY]

As much as I didn't want to pick him (and I suppose it's the same for everyone in this draft), I just cannot pass on the 10th highest wicket-taker of all-time at this late stage. He also provides some entertainment with the bat.

Harbhajan Singh.
