Yeah No. This is cringe asf

Think I agree. Can't even find the WI flag.

 

[Johan]

Beating up on hapless SA doesn't get me there.

And again, I don't rate pre WWI cricketers. Have to have a cutoff somewhere.

it's whatever, just don't start a Steyn-Barnes discussion if you straight up don't rate one.

Hi all, for the AR position for no.6/7 in the lineup, I would ask you all to consider voting for Miller over Kallis.

Reasons:

- Hammond already effectively covers the 5th/6th bowler role that Kallis has.

- It would would allow second ATG XI to be an actual contrast to the batting heavy first XI with a bowling heavy second XI

- Miller allows an actual pace quartet of four radically different worldclass bowlers, Ambrose tall miserly, Imran reverser, Barnes mystery seam and classic swing with Miller, along with Murali.

- Let's try something new

So as luffy just confirmed the order is in regards to batting order, what do we think is ideal? Assuming the top 3 candidates do get in, as looks inevitable.

Some stats

3
Hammond 3440 @ 74.78
Smith 1744 @ 67.07
Lara 3749 @ 60.46

4
Smith 6666 @ 60.05
Lara 7535 @ 51.26
Hammond 2997 @ 50.79

5
Smith 1346 @ 56.08
Lara 536 @ 41.23 (includes 153*)
Hammond 435 @ 33.46

Yeah I will vote Miller. I think yall should also consider voting for Sanga to keep. He even has excellent experience keeping to Murali

I prefer giving each team their own new symbol and colors.

Hammond is a number 3, let him bat there.
Smith and Lara is more debatable, I just voted for Lara at because he's the best player of spin here, and Smith is the best vs pace... So makes for Smith above Lara to me

 

[subshakerz]

Great idea! I am a fan of Knott but to break it up I will vote Sanga.

Come on guys, something different!
