Thats one of the best teams of this Draft, OS.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'll finish with WG Grace who'll open with Mitchell and Mordecai Sherwin, who'll be 12th man because he has a funny name.

OS XI:

WG Grace
Bruce Mitchell
Sir Frank Worrell (6) (c)

[AndrewB]

Hmm - I went for Atkinson in the last round to get an early pick this round, and now I can't decide who to pick...

 

[AndrewB]

I'll go for James Anderson and Stuart Broad

[Howe_zat]

Sid Barnes and because I am still yet to decide on team balance, Don Tallon

1. Geoff Boycott
2. Sid Barnes
3. Kumar Sangakkara
4. Younis Khan
5. Mohammed Yousuf
6. Frank Woolley
7. Wilfred Rhodes
8. Shaun Pollock
9. Muttiah Muralitharan

12. Don Tallon

 

[Shri]

12. Jason Gilespie

Wk: Gilly
Backup Wks: Flower, Dilshan, Abdv
Slips: Smith, Inzi, Flower
Backward Point: Abdv

Mid off: Dilshan

If the top 4 score 250, you will be ****ed and demoralized quickly after that point.

 

[watson]

Confused about my last pick because there are so many opening batsman available of about the same ability. But I reckon that the attacking Fredericks would work well with the dependable Simpson. Plus I can pick Croft and possibly play him over Hall.

Mark Waugh averaged 53 at No.6 with a couple of quick-fire centuries, bowls useful medium pace, and would be great in the slips with Simo. So don't feel like finding another middle-order bat to replace him.

Really nice draft Howe, thanks!

The only slightest of concerns is the lack of a better number 8 but you are never getting through that top 6 anyway.
