Red Hill has timed out, so I'm up.

There are 61.87 reasons to pick this bloke, but one is that he was a useful bowler in first class and white ball cricket (but hardly bowled in tests due to Mitchell Marsh).

Final pick is Adam Voges.


Graeme Smith (c)
Glenn Turner
Kumar Sangakkara
Virat Kohli
Martin Donnelly
Adam Voges
Matt Prior (wk)
Keshav Maharaj
Neil Wagner
Jack Cowie
Shoaib Akhtar

It is a good sign when the worst player in your team has the 2nd best average of all time!

Pretty confident I've got a bowling attack to easily take 20 wickets per game, but I might be a bit "6 out, all out"!

Relying on Thommo to hang around with DeKock like he did with AB

I think most teams with good bowlers will suffer from "6 out, all out" syndrome, as it is a byproduct of the rules of this draft.
