Faulkner batted at No.5 the most - 10 times at an average of 46.78
Something tells me there might have been a bit of rain between the third and fourth innings there.

506 and then 80 runs is somewhat of a contrast I guess.

Trumper scored a better-than-a-run-a-ball 159 in that game. WAG.

Every time I picked Faulkner, he played @ No.6 but this time I will have to make some changes to balance things. Next few rounds will give me a clear view. Right now, yes - he will play @ No.3.

Clive Lloyd. Great againts the spin of the Indian quartet and the pace of Lillee and Thompson. One of the ATG cover and slip fielders and the captain of this merry bunch.

Ahh WAC. I rate Walsh a lot higher than most but thought his under-ratedness might see him last a bit longer. Got greedy.
