Fleming opened quite a bit. KP, not so much, but the few times he did, he was great.

Sorry guys I was a bit off track. Confused now. Can anyone help me with which players/countries I can choose from?

Take one from Sri Lanka and one from Ireland. You need a no.3 so take the Irish.

[Zinzan]

Well played...I just had that thought reading the other draft and realizing Sobers did actually play 1 ODI.

 

[mr_mister]

Neither are eligble. Choose again.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Damn, that's pretty clever

Edit: wait there was a 20 match limit. Booooooooo. Knew there was a reason I didn't pick Sobers.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Nice side that Schearzie! Deep deep batting with Kapil coming in at 8.

Thanks Zinzan, I was only disappointed I didn't get a high class spinner. Strang is going to have to do though

 

[WalkingWicket]

To round off my team, I'll take Graham Gooch from England, to open alongside Will Porterfield.

1. Porterfield (Ireland)
2. Gooch (England)
3. Ponting (Australia)
4. Crowe (New Zealand) - 6
5. Jayawardene (Sri Lanka)
6. Andy Flower (Zimbabwe) +
7. Shaun Pollock (South Africa) - 2
8. Anil Kumble (India) - 5
9. Joel Garner (West Indies) - 1
10. Shoaib Akhtar (Pakistan) - 3
11. Mustafizur Rahman (Bangladesh) - 4

As OS said opener was Fleming's most common spot in ODI. I did want KP as an opener though. I found his style of batting (like Gilly) so good for a side to get off to a flyer in the first 15. He did well too when he opened

Paul Strang was not bad at all. As a person who has witnessed nearly each of his game can testify it.

AZH, that was cheeky.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah Strang was very good. Was on the verge of picking him before I realised Chuckmal wasn't going to get picked.

I second that.

I definitely didn't mean he's garbage, but I appreciate the Strang love
