Most are pretty even imo, one or two weaker sides but I like Weldone's team.

Voted GIMH for a few reasons, partly because Bevan would guide them home the majority of the time. ;)

voted for ozone's team

top 3 batsmen are phenomenal .... next 4 are good supporting batsmen who can be match-winners on their day .... bowling is short with no genuine all-rounder in the squad, i guess Tendulkar, Crowe, Collingwood and McMillan would be rolling their arms. Marshall, Srinath and Saqlian are top class, while Patterson can be useful .... can't go wrong with having Crowe as the captain

I went with NUFAN's team. It has the best batting lineup and a very strong bowling attack.

Weldone and Jamee999 are IMO the equal second, and on their day could roll NUFAN's team. There are other very strong teams in the list but these three are the best IMO.

Whatever it takes!!!
went with G.I.JOE.. The team looks solid..


BTW, a suggestion on HDS' team.. Why play Richie Richardson and Ganguly out of position? Would make much more sense to open with Grant Flower and Ganguly, Richardson at 3 and Prabhakar at 7 or something.. Or open with Ganguly and Prabhakar and have Richie at 3.. But I would still want Flower, who is a much better batsman than Prabhakar coming up the order...

Voted for Nnanden' team, i think its a genuinely awesome side, has got a solid middle order and good all-round options, and a good bowling attack to go with it, having said that, i think most sides are pretty good (apart from mine)....

Hard call. Went for Nufan, that batting line up is great and the bowling very solid.

Reckon my team would beat it though. :ph34r:

Jamee's team for mine :ph34r:

Amazed they are still getting votes, even though they missed four rounds. Say a lot about the quality of Jamee early picks and well my ability to find rough diamonds late. ;)

Re: Jamee99's team - Sehwag bowling 10 overs every game plus no one else to turn to if any of the 4+1 bowlers have an off day....potential epicfail there. :p[/mudslinging]

Didn't spend half an hour making this thread for it to go off the front page. ;)

Normally my teams seem to be disadvantaged when simmed in VC4, but I reckon with two bowlers striking in the 20s, and another three striking in the 30s, my team would kill it in a sim.

Guys, I wrote up most of my thinking behind the selections on my mum's laptop and then had to get off it - will probs be round at my mum's this weekend so will provide further info & stats etc then (if anybody's interested)

I like the way I've drafted no specialist spinners and am still rated highly in both drafts :D. So much depth in pace bowling through history.
 

Nate

Worked out I have the best batting side by average in the comp. Follow that up with Brax, Mendis, Gul, and the all-round skills of Shakib, Flintoff and Kallis and I'm pretty chuffed. :thumbsup:
 

NUFAN

Worked out I have the best batting side by average in the comp. Follow that up with Brax, Mendis, Gul, and the all-round skills of Shakib, Flintoff and Kallis and I'm pretty chuffed. :thumbsup:
And by strike rate?

When does this finish?
 

Nate

Tbh, didn't check strike-rate. I put the close date for a week when I made it. Good work on leading so far. :)
