Cricket Team Draft - ODI edition

For my 12th man I'm taking Anthony Stuart. The former Australian quick played three one day internationals in January 1997. He starred in his final match taking 5/26 including a hat trick, unfortunately he was never seen again.
He's coaching Wellington these days, for the record.

pskov's 12 hours up long ago...

So, I pick Romesh Kaluwitharana

And I decide to take him in the first XI as specialist wicketkeeper pushing AB de Villiers as the 12th man initially...Kalu was a decent aggressive batsman up the order...He'll be opening with Haynes...With 132 catches and 75 stumpings, he comes across as a good keeper against both pace and spin. Moreover, his long experience of keeping to Muralitharan earn him a place in the playing XI as a specialist wicketkeeper...And de Villiers will be a gun as a 12th man...He's a very goos aggressive batsman, so he can come in the XI when a batsman (except Miandad and Haynes) is out of form...He can also come in place of Kalu as a keeper when Kalu goes out of form...And we all know that he's an electrifying fielder, so that makes him a very good choice as a 12th man...And I never wanted a bowling option as my 12th man since my bowling attack is well-equipped for any pitch conditions, be it spinning or not...

Peter who? Peter Taylor that's who.

Pretty gun offy, nice fielder too. He'll do awesomely as my 12th man and will probably get the odd game, particularly at a few dry locations.

First Class Debutant
Sort of lost track of who has been selected, but think I'm OK with Andy Bichel. Not really adding anything to my side, but will hypothetically provide competent cover for any of the seamers as well as knowing one end of the bat from the other. Pretty content with the batting, as I feel the middle order are all competent, reliable performers who, along with the world class openers should rack up some good scores.

Ozones ODI Squad
1. Gordon Greenidge
2. Sachin Tendulkar
3. Martin Crowe
4. Marvin Atapattu (c)
5. Paul Collingwood
6. Craig McMillan
7. Brendon McCullum (wk)
8. Patrick Patterson
9. Malcolm Marshall
10. Javagal Srinath
11. Saqlain Mushtaq

12. Andy Bichel

Was hard choosing a captain, but went with Atapattu because I feel he would have been a great captain had he had more of a chance at it.

Nah Weldone Pup's just gone first for the 12th man, doesn't really deserve to go first again for Ground.

1 ozone - Sachin Tendulkar
2 NUFAN - Viv Richards
3 Weldone - Muttiah Muralitharan
4 pskov - Joel Garner
5 Simon - Wasim Akram
6 G.I.Joe - MS Dhoni

7 Matt79 - Adam Gilchrist
8 Goughy - Richard Hadlee


9 GeraintIsMyHero
10 Jamee999
11 Dazza_20
12 HeathDavisSpeed
13 Nnanden
14 pup11

The 2 bolded people can start with the ground, so when Matt picks it's GIJ, Simon and when Goughy picks it's GIMP then Jamee etc. Will have two going at a time, to speed things up.

I'm not going to be online until Sunday night at the earliest.

Can I PM someone a couple of grounds just in case?

I think we should look to start the voting on Monday..
