Barney Rubble
International Coach
Well, I can make a pretty good stab at Somerset's for the coming season, assuming the overseas players turn out how they want them to:
Graeme Smith* - no explanation needed.
Marcus Trescothick - ditto.
Ricky Ponting - ditto.
Matthew Wood - talented, fluent young opening batsman who will be pushed down the order by Smith.
James Hildreth - flamboyant, aggressive, and very promising young right-hander. Bowls medium-slow dobbers which are useful in Twenty20 cricket.
Ian Blackwell - useful left-arm spinner and brutal, if unreliable, middle order bat.
Wesley Durston - aggressive right-hander, superb fielder and handy off-break bowler.
Carl Gazzard+ - superb gloveman and improving batsman, occasional one-day opener with plenty of shots.
Richard Johnson - experienced but injury-prone seamer, who is also capable of rapid lower-order runs on his day.
Andrew Caddick - former England bowler who is still capable of extracting movement from the country's most lifeless track, and who is a capable number 9 or 10.
Robert Woodman - young left-arm swing bowler who is an all-rounder at England U19 level, and who has potential with both bat and ball.
(EDIT: Adding reserve players)
Arul Suppiah - the only Malaysian to play FC cricket, a gritty top or middle order batsman and part-time left-arm spinner.
John Francis - watchful top order batsman and very occasional left-arm spinner.
Keith Parsons - the original KP (
), an experienced batsman with a cool head, who can also bowl some effective medium-pace.
Simon Francis - brother of John, nippy seam bowler who is a wicket-taker, but with a tendency to be expensive.
Gareth Andrew - a seam bowler and number 8 or 9 batsman who is, quite honestly, terrible.
Michael Parsons - no relation to Keith, and not much better than Andrew.
Michael Munday - young and inexperienced legspinner with only one FC wicket to his name, but with potential to be useful in future.
Hope that helps.

Mark Chilton(cpt), 29 - Batting has suffered with captaincy
Ian Sutcliffe 31- unsung, oft criticised because he doesn't score so quick but reliable
Mal Loye 33- remains potent but suffering more injuries as the years go by
Stuart Law 37 - not long left for Stuey
Brad Hodge 31- struggled last year, decent in the twenty20
Luke Sutton(wk) 29 - average county keeper signed from Derbyshire
Glenn Chapple, 31 - RM, handy with the bat, getting on a bit
Dominic Cork, 34 - former England player - getting on a lot
Sajid Mahmood 24- Big, ugly paceman, decent slogger - hoping to get more game time this year
Jimmy Anderson, 23- wayward swing bowler
Murali 33 - mediocre off spinner
Reserves
Gary Keedy 31, slow left armer, enjoys Old Trafford, will play when Murali isn't there
Andrew Symonds 30, bits and pieces overseas player who'll come in when Murali's not available.
Andy Crook, 25 - aussie born/raised off spinning all rounder, will play plenty of OD & twenty 20 stuff
Gareth Cross, 21, - Reserve Keeper - brilliant with the gloves, less so with the bat.
Andrew Flintoff 28, might make the side for a few low key games
Kyle Hogg 22, underachieving bowling alrounder, burst on to the scene a few years ago, big injuries hampered him since then.
Paul Horton 23, top order batsman, good prospect, limited opportunites.
Simon Marshall 23, young leggie still learning his trade, promising
Steven Croft 21, middle order batsman and medium pacer, started playing cricket while living in Sri Lanka
OIiver Newby,21 - paceman, played a few games on loan for Notts last year (wonder if he got a medal) but won't feature much
Tom Smith 20 - decent prospect, did well for England U-19's last year.
A few others in the England U19's etc but won't get much game time, maybe in the university game. Names to look out for the future - Mullaney, Miller, Thompson, Simpson

First page of the Bangladesh thread is probably best Pratyush, I had a stab at all the teams before the season began. They're a little innaccurate as far as batting orders go, but mostly OK.
