Fowlers God - The sheer balls-out insanity of picking so many bowlers, and one of them being Jason Krezja, would probably make me like this team, but it also has Mathew Hayden in it to ruin all the fun. Nope.
Remmie - I like this side. Still one too many bowlers, Harmison should definitely make room for another batsman, but it has some flair to it. Maybe worth a novelty vote.
LFD - Yeah, I could see this working. Afridi a bit of a waste of space but hey, let's work with what we have. I've finally been admitting to myself lately that Watson is a decent player, so this is the first non-comical batting lineup. Attack's good too.
RobbieOR - No idea where you got the impression Gower was an opener from. Or that Dilshan was one of the best ever, but if we put that down to poetic liscence this is is probably the best batting side yet. Bowling attack leaves something to be desired, though, with Lillee the only bowler to be much better than okay at Test level. Further, there's no excuse for the lack of cropping on those screenshots.
Under that basis I will plump for Roadendsmig, but would say this group is considerably weaker than the first.

Good review, except at the end when you don't go for my team! haha
Afridi has an average of 37 with the bat, so not such a waste of space - especiallly as he is selected to just give it a bash with the rest of the batting strong.

Haha that's true!
