I'm pleasantly surprised how that bowling attack turned out, and well the batting isn't shall we say balanced, but...
I do love me a funkily balanced XI. Bonus points for the Miller + Noble combo.

Am absolutely thrilled no one picked Bill Johnston, so I will. Great to get an ATG left-arm seamer and he can also bowl SLAs as 2nd spinner to Ashwin when required.

I'll complete my team with Frank Tyson (37). Having shut down my PC late in the afternoon I woke up in the middle of the night thinking, if Pothas has picked, I'd be timed out and be struggling for my third quick. Fortunately Pothas and trundler were after spinners.

Given I missed the start and rushed my first pick, I'm reasonably happy with my team:

Sunil Gavaskar
Graham Gooch
Hashim Amla
Javed Miandad (c)
Kevin Pietersen
Mohammad Yousuf
B.J.Watling (w/k)
Shane Warne
Fred Trueman
Frank Tyson
James Anderson

No one took Shoaib Akhtar? I was tossing between him, Statham and Croft in the late stages.
