Never trust stats. They don't represent the player's potential.

Back Draft

I know. I don't trust Bradman's average either. It should only be mid-40s. But more seriously most games are going to be played away from England because there are players from 5 countries in that XI. So this doesn't bode very well: Thomas Evans - Performance Analysis by venue Home / Away - Test Cricket. 62 innings is a fair sample size.

In other words, don't trust runs and wickets.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul
Mark Boucher
Mike Procter
Wasim Akram
Fazal Mahmood
Jim Laker
Very happy with this team: 5 excellent bowlers with right and left arm quicks, a great med-fast, arguably the greatest offie and a left arm orthodox all-rounder; a super middle order to 6 with great batting depth to 9.
As a tactical battle this was one of the most interesting drafts i have been involved in too, particularly from a simple idea.

Hard to differentiate if the bowling is more powerful than the batting. Wanted to add another spinner (in Abdul Kadir), but Sonny Ramadhin is the OG (think Rahkeem).
