International Coach
Blakus ( 3 Pollocks led by Dashing Khan - Fantastic opening pair )
Noble One ( SRT, AB, Lohmann & Lindwall )
Howe_zat ( Hutton, Lara, Botham & Snow. Roberts is better but very modest ;) other 4 were damn iconic on the ground )

Blakus, Pothas and Himanv.

Not too happy with my team. But I think I have the best pace bowling trio - Ambrose, Holding and Davidson.

Blakus, Pothas and Himanv.

Not too happy with my team. But I think I have the best pace bowling trio - Ambrose, Holding and Davidson.
Pothas probably the best but Mr Z's opening pair are a stroke of genius. Jake's XI a tad further back - and thanks for running it - really enjoyable

yeah man thanks for running the draft


First place to Blakus I think and the rest I will vote later

Rather surprised by the result so far, I thought zaremba and Himannv had the standout sides.

A fair few people still to vote so I'll keep this open for another 24 hours, before declaring Blakus the winner.
 

Himannv

International Coach
So many good teams around that I really found it tough to pick between all of them. In the end went for Blakus, Pothas and smalishah. On a different day I could pick three other teams and justify my choices just as well.

I actually prefer Himannv's side over Blakus', now. Voted for the latter in the poll, though.
