Happy to get Clarke there. Felt I needed one more solid consistent batsman in my XI. Also continues the theme of excellent fielders in my XI, Clarke joining Chappell, Lara, Miller and Woolley as outstanding fieldsmen


Abbott's XI

1. Sunil Gavaskar
2.
3. Ian Chappell (c)
4. Brian Lara
5. Keith Miller (vc)
6. Michael Clarke
7. Frank Woolley

Interesting bowling line-up. The team effectively has no less than 9 bowlers if you think about it;

Right-Arm Fast = 2
Left-Arm Fast-Medium = 1
Left-Arm Orthodox Spin = 2
Right-Arm Medium (Swing) = 1
Right-Arm Off-Break = 1
Right-Arm Leg-Break = 2

Because of Mike Proctor I'll be interested to see whether you go another all-rounder like KK or opt for a specialist batsman at No.6?
Cheers, I think Procter was one of the greatest bowling talents of the 20th century, so he's a certain frontline bowler for me. His batting is almost an afterthought here. McCabe is my fifth, quite a nippy and enthusiastic medium pacer from what I've read, so I'll most likely go for a specialist batsman - I'd take Clive Rice if I could though

And Proctor was one of a hand-full of batsman to score 4 first class centuries in a row.

McCabe had a decent off-cutter if I remember rightly.

Procter actually managed 6 if I remember correctly, when he was playing for Rhodesia - a genuine all-round superhero

I agree with your batting order KK. Flintoff scored more centuries, but Goddard was a more classy batsman.

I actually began typing 'Wilfred Rhodes' in my e-mail to Jager as I though it would be neat having Barnes and Rhodes bowling in tandem again.

However, I changed my mind at the last minute and went for a different left-armer as I thought that Lindwall and Johnston were two 'Invincibles' that should be reunited again. Plus I like the idea of having two bowlers in my team that can bowl 'anything'. Barnes and Johnston.

Think it was great move selecting Johnston esp with Lindwall in the team

I was also going to take him earlier in the draft, at around round 6/7 - I was planning on playing him as an opener alongside Hobbs, recreating the second-most successful opening partnership in history in terms of average stands. I couldn't resist a modern ATG plus inspiring captain such as Smith though

Wouldn't really have much of an idea who's 'winning' at the moment. Lots of great sides so far, this is a very close draft.

Pairing Hobbs and Smith was a great move too

Yeah, Freddie is fine @ 7. I wanted to go for a regular No.6 batsmen but then could not resist having 2 all-rounders in the line up who can manage to bat @ No.6 and No.7.
