Got a left arm seamer and right arm seamer to start up.. Good spinners of all varieties. REasonable 3rd and 4th seam bowling options. Pace, swing, reverse swing all available in the attack along with loads of quality spin of all varities. Decent batting line up with good depth.. Think itis a pretty good side overall tbh. And a great opportunity to learn about some of the forgotten Asian cricketers again

Marvan Atapattu
Budhi Kunderan+
Rahul Dravid
Mahela Jayawardene
Madhav Apte
Wasim Raja (6)
Asif Iqbal (5)
Amar Singh (1)
Karsan Ghavri (3)
Arif Butt (2)
Erapalli Prasanna (4)

Two guys who averaged 40+ as Test openers, followed by a couple who could bat all day. After them it'll be time for the second or third new ball, so another opener (Apte) comes in to see that off with one of the best players of the WIPQ in Wasim Raja, then Asif Iqbal and a pretty strong tail can finish off the wilting bowlers.

[Shady Slim]

i think my team's pretty good for my standards which admittedly isn't saying much

bats deep and has a lot of bowling variation

 

[honestbharani]

[mr_mister]

[Teuton]

Very hard to pick between the top teams.
Was great to learn about some guys I hadn't heard of before, both in my predraft research and during the draft.

Thanks to Mr mister for running it.

 

[mr_mister]
