[Camo999]

Thanks Watson, didn't think I needed to wait for Joe if he had the previous pick outstanding but wasn't quite sure.

Faf du Plessis - One of the more versatile batsmen around.

Still not sure about my final batting line-ups for the LO's sides

 

[kyear2]

Bedser was stolen from me at the last moment.

Will pick shortly.

 

[AldoRaine18]

I had Bedser in mind when I picked Tate but went with the latter due to his superior batting record.

[watson]

Good job Kyear. Bit surprised when Ganguly appeared at No.1, but then I looked him up and found out that nearly all of his ODI career was spent opening - so I've learnt something.

Thanks Harsh.

 

[Camo999]

Think Alan Knott's still available? Alan Knott then. Will post my full line-ups soon.

 

[harsh.ag]

As my wicket-keeper, I will pick The Airborne Spirit - Dennis Lindsay . A very fluent batsman down the order, and no complaints as a keeper.

[Prince EWS]

I actually don't see how it wrecks your balance at all actually.

 

[morgieb]

I actually don't see how it wrecks your balance at all actually.

Mainly because both Hammond and Miandad batted 4, and Chanders is a lower-middle order bat. Originally my goal was to get a Test-specialist who batted 3, but then I saw Chanders was on the market and dropped everything.

Didn't realise Hammond also batted a lot of 3, though.

 

[harsh.ag]

Weird. I have always thought of Hammond as primarily a number 3.
