Overall pretty happy, missed a couple of tricks however by not picking Chappeli and Ponting despite being in a position to do so.

 

[morgieb]

In theory I could, but I'm not really complaining that much tbh. Just annoying that I got passed over twice.

You are easy to pushover tbf. Show them you won't take it anymore imo.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hard to ignore Morris but I don't really need to improve the batting. Could do with a third seamer though, so in comes Vaas.

[Blakus]

Sorry if I've held up the draft guys. Have been moving house recently and my internet company has been rather slow re-connecting me. Right now I'm posting from a friends broadband stick. At best I'll be posting infrequently for the next few days.

With that said my choice for May is Warwick Armstrong.

My choice for January is Hugh Tayfield, who will come in on any spinning wicket.

1.Bill Woodfull
2.Matthew Hayden
3.Graeme Pollock
4.Sachin Tendulkar
5.Stanley Jackson
6.Warwick Armstrong*
7.Mahendra Dhoni
8.Peter Pollock
9.Clarrie Grimmett
10.Curtly Ambrose
11.Neil Adcock

12.Hugh Tayfield

Strong and deep batting line-up, backed up by a fantastic and balanced bowling attack. To top it all off I have a selection of 3 fantastic captains (Armstrong, Jackson and Woodfull) to form the leadership team. Very satisfied with this team

My Team:

01. Arthur Morris
02. Bill Lawry
