you know Ian blackwell is in fine touch. Fc batting avg = 40, 10,000+ runs.
His bowling avg is quite misleading...
took 40+ wickets at an avg of 28 in 2010 and avg'd 36 with the bat.
took 40+ wickets at an avg of 23 in 2009 and avg'd 40 with the bat.
And btw the county div 1 is > indian div 1.
Plus I needed a spinner!

Kohli Fc avg- 56 , in county cricket thats prob like 48

**assuming that you were being sarcastic

Blackwell's a good pick, long-term solid performers like him tend to excel in these competitions. just didn't get why you left out Kholi, who's a quality international.

It is a strong batting lineup, to be fair.

-he hasn't played a single test.
- he's only batted 40 odd times in First-class cricket
-he didn't play many games last season and his avg was nowhere near rohit sharma's 90+

I'll play him on bowler-friendly pitches (the ones with 5 for seam or spin) to strengthen my batting.

Sunil Joshi is prob the 2nd best spinner in indian domestic cric (murali karthik being no.1)
avg < 20 last season, 30 in 2009, close to 20 in 2008. fc avg of 25, can bat a bit too.

Morkel ---avg'd 25 in tests last year :) (test avg 30)
Andre Adams- he's been fantastic in county cricket for at least the last 3 years. (haven't checked his stats for 2007 and before) Fc avg 22, can bit a bit too

Johnson-- didn't do well in the Ashes but he's class. Test avg of <30. Handy lower order batsman aswell (Did I make the right decision by picking him over murali in round 2????) (Murali didn't really play in 2010, avg'd >45 in 2009)
Prob not. :laugh:

I just love fast-bowlers. <3

Johnson will do better than Adams.

Test wickets >>>>>>>>>>>> County wickets, IMO. No mug with the bat, obviously, either.

This is a FC competition though.

Johnsons FC record is ordinary ,though obviously he has test wickets plus his recent form is not great.

Reckon they'll do equally well.

Only talking about bowling though. Obviously Johnson gets a big edge with the batting.

Centurymaker's team looks solid.

he took around 10 wickets at an avg of 23 in sheffield shield last season despite being out of form (avg'd 34 in 2010 in tests) and scored a hundred haha
Adams' a handy batsman too btw

So what exactly is the criteria then? I thought it was career with a slight bias towards recent series, but with Tests counting where appropriate? In that case I don't see how Joshi for example is a good selection as he's played Tests and proven to be mediocre at them.
