Really versatile bowling attack you have there. The inclusion of Miller, Dev, Kallis and Walcott as quality all rounders means you have a fair bit of flexibility now. Well played!
I was so close to leaving him until Round 7 because of how broad the clause is, but he was just head and shoulders ahead of anyone else left so I went with my gut. Always love having a strong bowling attack.

And, yeah. It's worked well because I can effectively 'hide' a player now if I need to, as the balance of the rest of the side is good.

And Eds can use SF Barnes as a spinner if he wants to. The team has so much flexibility.

With a good opener or two you could easily win this Draft!

Allen's overall SR was 54.1 and 64.7 against Australia. A lot lower than I had assumed.

Appears to be an under-rated player, especially as he bowled against some pretty powerful Aussie batsman - Bradman, McCabe etc,

There's a small matter of G.Chappell and Lara in the middle-order too.

Yes, that reminds me; I must make another appointment with my Psychologist. Apparently I've been diagnosed as having PDDSD - Post Drafting Disappointment and Stress Disorder.
