Thanks for doing this Marcuss!

 

[NUFAN]

Voting is very close, not too late to pick your best 3 teams..

 

[Teuton]

Definitely need more votes

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

In my very non expert manner I voted.

 

[stephen]

Red Hill is hax. GOAT batsman, GOAT fast bowler, a batting order to kill for and some decent backup bowlers like Jackson Bird.

 

[jimmy101]

Not much separating all of these sides tbh

My thoughts:

Harsh - lots and lots of star power - that Top 5 is outstanding and the bowling is quality too. But the fact that you have to rely on part-timers for spin hurts and the 6/7 is a weakness. Good but not the best.
Pothas - very solid. I suppose the Top 3 isn't incredible but the 4-6 is very good and the opening bowlers are superb. No real weakness barring maybe a 6th bowling option. Top-class.
fredfertang - this would get votes off me if it wasn't for Such. He's not a massive liability, but it does hurt the balance massively especially given the lack of a 5th bowling option. Otherwise I'm a fan - a very good batting lineup and two world-class bowlers heading the attack.
Marcuss - after Red Hill, probably the best batting of the bunch and having Kallis and Imran is h4x. Support bowlers a bit of a problem however despite the awesome new ball pairing.
morgieb - yeah I'll admit my lineup is pretty meh.
Red Hill - Bradman and Marshall? Pretty h4x. Especially given it's a very fine batting lineup even without The Don. Main weakness is the keeper I guess, but it's not a massive liability. Excellent side.
TFO - similar side to mine in that it's a bit too short of star power. Decent side but really needed a Ponting instead of one of their middle order bats and a Wasim instead of Ward (for example)
Cabinet96 - excellent bowling. Just feel the batting is a tad below the best. Probably would've finished 4th for me.
Teuton - a few weak batsmen, but the all-rounders help somewhat there. And the bowling is very good. Needed a genuine batting star instead of Sinclair/Campbell to get votes off me, though.
AndrewB - see TFO and a couple of others. The all-rounders help mask the lack of great bats and having Hameed, but overall just a tad short of the best teams.
Michaelf7777777 - the all-rounders help mask the lack of batting quality here, but it's still a very weak batting lineup. Lindwall probably carries the bowling a bit too. Strugglers.
anil1405 - another very ordinary lineup. I do love the new ball pairing and there's a few good bats here, but no real fourth bowler or keeper is a massive liability. Just too weak.
trundler - dat bowling attack, what the ****. Very fine batting too. Shaw a slight weakness because of his lack of experience but I suspect in ten years time everyone will be drafting him in ATG sides. World-class.

So I voted for Pothas, Red Hill and trundler, with honourable mentions to Marcuss, tangy and Cabinet.
