He only bowled 9 deliveries of left-arm trash, but he sure could bat. Inzamam-ul-Haq

Great tactic IMO - nothing like having a quality right handed batsman at number 7 or 8 to balance out the left handers.

Sadly many of us did bend the rules in this game

Well if you can't beat them, have to join them IMO.

Don't mock Compton like that. He takes the vital 4th spinners slot in my side. That he's a handy batsman is just a bonus

I have been waiting for someone to select Ambrose. Bat him at 6, call him a pinch-hitter.

Almost did that in my first pick.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Yeah I know I grabbed a right-handed seven for my last pick but with a keeper and an All rounder in my top 6 so I think its normal to have a specialist batsman at 7. I wouldn't be surprised if some people picked a mainly right arm bowler (who attempted to bat lefthanded) in the final round.

Dont give them the hint. I have not joined that elite panel yet but planning to pick Ambrose as my 12th man and then might send him as a night watchman

Interesting decision to pick Edgar as wicketkeeper - was he actually picked in a test to keep wickets?

 

[fredfertang]

He took over the gloves from that failed experiment Jock Edwards on one tour of England

 

[Cevno]

Suresh Raina for my pick.
