Whatever it takes!!!
Shakib as your only spinner makes this an incredibly weak bowling line up for me, if we are taking ATG sides and just a flat batting track like Lords was this Ashes test, forget having to win in dustbowls...

Great fast bowlers can win a game on anything. That's what makes them valuable. If you think Shakib as a sole spinner might not be good enough, fine, but there's no such rule that a dustbowl requires spinners to win you the game.

yeah, that is what I meant... if you had taken Kumble then and maybe some one else in the earlier round, the side would look much more rounded.. Fine batting line up though.. Really good..

It is a bit like saying a great spinner can still win you games on a greentop... Of course, the number of fast bowlers, and therefore the number of great fast bowlers, is much more than the respective numbers for spinners but that doesn't invalidate my point. I just do not see that attack blowing away ATG batting line ups on flat tracks.. (again, forget about dustbowls)

Guess the RSA class of 1969 is the one everyone is going with so far in this round...

haha yeah. I would have grabbed Healy in last round but then noticed that all 3 above me had a decent wicketkeeper so was hoping to get Lindsay.

Got lucky in first few rounds.

Welp, kinda wish I'd taken Gower instead of Cook now, but oh well. Guess I'll finish off with another pacer.

Very nice, the anticipation of other people's decision is exhausting
