Auction draft 2011

Ah! Got as good a new ball bowler as Roberts at a reasonable price... Now, with Roberts, Steyn and Benaud my bowling attack looks near-complete.

Weldone XI so far:
Rashid Latif+
Richie Benaud*
Andy Roberts
Dale Steyn

Reserves: Junaid Siddique, Darren Pattinson, Irfan Pathan, Paul Harris

I was just wondering if I have to play Pathan in the XI, how my bowling lineup would look. Certainly, Pathan is not the ideal first-change bowler for one's likings, but a lineup of Roberts, Steyn, Irfan and Benaud has almost everything that a very good bowling lineup requires - pace, seam movement, left-right combination, booming outswingers, booming inswingers, leg-break, googly, flippers.

On a side note, which one is better - Ranatunga at no. 6 and a very good first-change bowler that I'll get later OR Irfan as first-change bowler and a very good no. 6 batsman that I'll get later?

Note: Marc, will you be able to email me my remaining budget please (to my gmail id)?

Objectively speaking, I think it's easier to sustain a weakness in the batting line-up than one in your bowling attack. Therefore you should target a strong first change bowler.
However since you don't really have much of a batting line-up at the moment I'm not sure if that advice holds up. So in short.....I probably haven't helped things out at all.:p.
Depends on how good your budget is really.

Marc, aren't you afraid someone might get pissed off at your nominations and mail you some anthrax sooner or later?
