Will finish with Tom Blundell (Sept)
Final team
Jack Hobbs
Arthur Morris
David Gower
Mahela Jayawardene
A.B. De Villiers
Tom Blundell (wk)
Ian Botham
Shaun Pollock
Richie Benaud (c)
Heath Streak
Brian Statham
Very happy with this side - the opening GOAT is the start of an immensely powerful and deep batting lineup (Streak at 10!) while Benaud captains this highly experienced side which is full of test captains. Ideally I would have liked a left-armer or express quick for variety but this 5-man attack looks relentless.

Honest Hunks
Trevor Goddard
Wilfred Rhodes
Denis Compton
Bob Simpson (vc)
Bill Edrich
Aubrey Faulkner
MS Dhoni (wk) (c)
Ravi Ashwin
Stuart Broad
Mitch Johnson
Josh Hazlewood
A bit of a dream team with just about every variety of bowling in cricket covered (Right Arm and Left Arm Fast and Fast Medium and Medium Fast + Right and Left Arm Off and Leg Spin) and just about everyone who can bat except Haze. There will honestly not be a wicket where this team will feel they are not covered. As far as the greats go, for me, Rhodes, Compton, Ashwin and Broad are all greats of the test game. So not badly served there either. Gotta love one of the most hb teams I have drafted in recent memory.

Sure thing why not?
Bowlers are good enough to take 20 wickets...batsmen are good enough to draw/win a match under Sir Richie's captaincy.

@AndrewB timed out. @Patience and Accuracy+Gut on the clock.
You should have finished the XI with a lob bowler
