@mr_mister I think

 

[ataraxia]

Tom Blundell

surely kk's got someone better in mind, c'mon.

 

[honestbharani]

ok... juz woke up.


Rodney Marsh.. scrap Blundell.

 

[mr_mister]

Was tossing up between Rod Marsh and Godfrey Evans... Marsh the better bat(which my team probably needs) but Evans the better keeper

So looks like I'm taking Evans!

Updated Pothas Trundler.

Cricaddict still hasn't filled 9 boxes

 

[Line and Length]

I need a spinner so I'll take Tich Freeman please

 

[trundler]

@Pothas

 

[Pothas]

David Gower

@trundler

 

[CricAddict]

And I complete my line-up with Sehwag and Gambhir who both debuted in the 2000s and went on to become the most successful left-right opening combination for India.

The addicts

1. Virender Sehwag
2. Gautam Gambhir
3. Rahul Dravid
4. Virat Kohli
5. Jacques Kallis
6. Yousuf Youhana
7. Rishabh Pant
8. Ravindra Jadeja
9. Kagiso Rabada
10. Anil Kumble
11. Allan Donald

And that completes the line-up. Dravid and Youhana will be like the Dravid-Laxman times manning the middle order and changing positions if required. Kohli gives the flair while Kallis provides the solidity. Pant and Jadeja to do their thing at the end.

Donald and Rabada to take up the new ball while Kallis comes first change. Spin twins of Kumble and Jadeja to then bundle the opposition out.

Decent depth in batting as well unto Kumble at 10.

Updated Pothas Trundler.

Filled now

 

[trundler]

Mohammad Asif

 

[Line and Length]

@CricAddict you are completing your side when we are only halfway through Round 10. Is it because no one else has the India/2000s combination?
Perhaps you could give us the Round 11 draw and then we can jump in if we are considering a pick that no-one can take before us.

 

[Teuton]

R10: Michael Clarke
R11: Brad Haddin (safe bet Fuller won't pick 2 keepers)

 

[Teuton]

@Michaelf7777777

 

[ankitj]

I too can finish my XI right now actually. Don't even have to wait for my turn in R10. Should I? ?

 

[Teuton]

I would say yes to save time
