Mystery Draft (ODI XI and Test XI, 79-09)

Paul Collingwood for ODIs. Tossing up between Carl Hooper and Jimmy Adams for my final Test selection - going with Carl Hooper and will open the batting with him. He opened in five tests so he shouldn't be completely unaccustomed to the role. It also allows the rest of the order to bat in a familiar enough position. Also provides a useful part time spin option to back up Kumble, even if his test average of close to 50 with the ball would suggest otherwise.

I'm sure there is some other side that needs one Aussie ODI player. I can only count nine taken.

Thats the whole point, seven drafters take one Australian and one drafter takes three Australians which would make ten in total. You're the tenth selection by the looks of things.

Yeah I can't count at this time at night.

Wanted a 5th bowler, but Langer too good to pass up. Need Murali to get 15+ wickets every match to take 20. Does it for Sri Lanka at his peak so he should be ok. Loving the 5th bowling options of Jones and Richardson. We will play for draws.

Mark Waugh for ODIs, sixth bowler incase RTD struggles and gun opener. Don't know how we pulled together a decent side.

Sorry all!

Apparently my Round 10 selection of Mushtaq Ahmed is not possible since Micheal had already taken him earlier.

My bad.

In lieu I go for Arshad Khan , in test matches.

Please update it Mr.Johns.

Somerset's Mystery Test Draft XI

Andrew Strauss LHB (4,195 runs @ 42.37)
Carl Hooper RHB OS (5,762 runs @ 36.46, 114 wickets @ 49.42)
John F Reid LHB (1,296 runs @ 46.28)
Jacques Kallis RHB RFM (9,988 runs @ 54.57, 252 wickets @ 31.12)
Mohammad Yousuf RHB (6,770 runs @ 55.49)
Hashan Tillakaratne LHB (4,545 runs @ 42.87)
Adam Gilchrist LHB WK (5,570 runs @ 47.60, 379 catches, 37 stumpings)
Heath Streak RHB RFM (1,990 runs @ 22.35, 216 wickets @ 28.14)
Anil Kumble RHB LS (2,506 runs @ 17.77, 619 wickets @ 29.65)
Dale Steyn RHB RF (355 runs @ 12.67, 154 wickets @ 23.08)
Allan Donald (652 runs @ 10.68, 330 wickets @ 22.25)

Bowling attack led by two of South Africa's greatest fast bowlers, legendary Allan Donald and rising star Dale Steyn. Streak was Zimbabwe's best bowler by far, Kumble the third highest wicket taker in test history and Kallis hardly a weak link. Hooper the sixth bowler on pitches assisting spinners. The middle order is extremely strong, Kallis forming with Yousuf and the resiliant Tillakaratne, while Gilchrist at number seven provides arguably the best ever wicket-keeper batsman in test cricket. The possible weak point surrounds the top order and just how Strauss and Hooper will perform against some of the great attacks assembled by other drafters. John F Reid played just 19 tests but scored six centuries, so would also need to replicate that form to give my Test side a solid start.
