@ataraxia to complete the Round 11 free-for-all then JOJOXI can select his pace attack.

Please submit your final team, with adjust batting order (if required) for 6-11. I note several have already done so.

Here are the selections as per my spreadsheet, which when completed will be heading the voting thread. No need to submit your final team if I have your batting order correct.

Pretty amazing I wound up with this line up. Top 8 have all been captains. There is enough leadership in this side to know that they will overcome every situation. Swing, Reverse Swing, Pace, Bounce, Seam Movement, Cutters - all available with Shoaib and Watson bowling short bursts of swing and reverse swing, Davidson, Garner, Greig bowling longer spells keeping it tight, and keep getting players out cheaply. Kumble and Shakib will lead the spin unit and with 2 proper great spinners, winning matches in the SC or day 4/5 will be pretty straightforward for this side. And there will be runs all the way to #9 and there is a left right combo all the down to 10. A dream team for me, personally, really.

How cool is that I have a great backup keeper in my 11 too.
