Balanced Averages Budget draft

My best estimate for r11. If you are top of a column you can pick (after Ataraxia has picked in r10). If you are in the wrong column let us know.

Now I'm not sure if @Michaelf7777777 can make the budget
Edit: would need a bowler with higher wpm and average than Amarnath
Bowling average at least 38 and at least 21 more than batting average, and at least 1.88 wickets per match.
Plenty of players fit those criteria... finding one you want in your side is a bit more challenging...

Haha that's one of the most non-bowling top sevens I've ever seen picked in a draft.

Now, if you next get a batsman who only averages 15 that will push Lindwall into your top 7.
So i think you need a bowler/allrounder who averages at least 32 with the ball (edit: ), more than 0.41 WPM, and 11 runs less than his bowling average with the bat when it comes to your R11 pick. That way Grace, and his unhelpful bowling average of 26, isn't your 5th bowler.
Tbh i think you can make it anytime now since JOJOXI is the only other who needs an extra bowler and he can pick anyone who averages 23 or higher.

edit: and michael needs a bowler as we worked out too that averages over 38 with the ball, and 21 less than his bowling average with the bat

Don't worry, I've got it under control. So I can pick now?

Cricketer Of The Year
"Who needs 5 bowlers?"

The brief requested 5 bowlers, to only pick 4 and to add a batsman with a huge bowling average is a clever manipulation of the rules. I admire your strategy but when it comes to voting I'll probably look for a more traditionally balanced side.
