I really struggled to find any decent pace bowlers for the over 35 team, hence two blasts from the past from Oz (Andy Caddick was next on the list!). Conversely bowlers were not a problem for the young team, but finding another batsman was with Imran Farhat and Hasim Amla fighting it out for the final spot in the middle order, not exactly a great choice.
Anyone I've missed out? I think I'd take the yougsters in this but only just. If it's a quick pacy pitch their fast bowling would be a sure handful. The oldies team better hope for a dustbowl, their first change seamer is Hayden!
