Would have liked more teams to get disqualified. Lot of clashing bids in round 2 else that could have happened. But glad that at least one did (sorry KingKallis 
)
See the Spreadsheet for the draft for bids in each round.
Please post your teams in batting order if you haven't already. I will use that to create the poll.

Feels a pretty balanced team, probably a bit of a liberty giving ABdV the gloves, but hey. Overall a pretty aggressive batting line-up. And yes the ZA roots show through, go for what you know and love.
PS: Apologies to kingkallis, pretty sure I was the bastard who knocked you out!

Most people had their bowlers sorted so I made sure I got my opening bat.... could be totally wrong though.
Himannv

I'd switch Viv and Kallis personally.
StephenZA

Nah... don't need Kallis holding up the lower middle order, tiring out that opposition attack and taking the shine off new ball is good enough. An attacking opening pair, stable no 3 followed by 3 of the most attacking WC batsmen works better for me.
Maybe Lara and Viv... but am happy with that.

Ok. And better wicketkeeper between Sanga and Flower?

Guess Flower played more % of his games as Keeper than did Sanga.
Post your XI already.

haha yeah you had it planned pretty well. 170,000 against 170,001. You guessed it pretty well that I might go for Trumper. Well played.
