Angelo Matthews. Capable of the brilliant but not quite consistent enough. Bonafide ATVG.

If not Makhaya Ntini then who else? He is a true ATVG player.

[aussie tragic]

Arguably the best captain Australia has ever had (never lost a series) and best #3 since Bradman where he averaged 50.94
Ian Chappell (42.42)

 

[aussie tragic]

Moving Mankad up to open where he averaged 40.74 and was the holder of the highest opening partnership world record (413) for 52 years

[Fuller Pilch]

Nice format. I think I will copy it too.

[Line and Length]

I'll round out my team with Lindsay Hassett (Aus, 46.56). He had a 14-4 win-loss ratio as captain and produced his best work batting at # 4.

 

[honestbharani]

can I do a double pick since I missed yesterday? Somehow forgot this was going on...

 

[honestbharani]

picked Watling, seems he is taken. Changed pick in a below post.

 

[aussie tragic]

BJ Watling as my keeper

Already taken by Trundler

 

[honestbharani]

Ah damn.. changing the pick.

[Line and Length]

I'm more than happy with this team. Two proven openers and the batting order has the next five positioned where they perform best. Nurse, in 9 knocks at number 3 averaged 86.22. Hassett averages 51.39 when batting at 4. Dhoni averages 47.32 at number 6 and McMillan averages 58.99 at number 7. Samaraweera is the only one who isn't in his prime batting position but he still averages 47.60 at number 5. The pace attack is sharp with Starc offering left arm variety and Gibbs was only the second player to take 300 wickets and his economy rate is under 2 per over.

Player	Batting	Bowling
Glenn Turner	44.64
Shoaib Mohammad	44.34
Seymour Nurse	47.60
Lindsay Hassett (c)	46.56
Thilan Samaraweera	48.77
MS Dhoni (w/k)	38.09
Brian McMillan	39.36	33.93
Mitchell Starc	22.28	26.97
Jason Gillespie	18.74	26.14
Bob Willis	11.51	25.02
Lance Gibbs	6.97	29.02

 

[aussie tragic]

Ah damn.. changing the pick.

Hate to bring the bad news and hope I'm wrong but how are you going to get 8 countries with this pick (isn't that now 9 picks from only 5 countries?)

"honestbharani - Shakib Al Hasan, Andrew Flintoff, Shane Watson, Chris Gayle, Wasim Raja, Joe Root, Graham Thorpe, Gary Gilmore"
