I had Sangakarra and de Villiers tagged as possible keepers but you took them both hb. Then ankitj picked half a dozen I was hoping would slip through.

We are on a new page and ankitj might have missed my note re Keith Miller already being picked.
As it is my turn after ankitj do I pick now or wait for him to correct?

I'll take M.S.Dhoni and then wait for JOJOXI to pick one before I finish my team.

Wonder how HB left all these players for you.

Yeah, other than Sangakkara he didn't pick anyone I was eyeing. Surprised no one got O'Reilly either. For once I succeeded in something I have always wanted to do in drafts – get ATG leggie and offie together in the XI. Looking good team:

Bed time here in Oz. Hopefully JOJOXI can make his selection while I'm asleep so I can lodge my block early in the morning.

Decisions, decisions. No wonder I tossed and turned all night.
Here we go:
Ravi Ashwin
Richie Benaud
Ian Botham
Matthew Haydn
George Headley
Ray Lindwall
Graeme Smith
Clyde Walcott
Courtney Walsh
Changed my mind on a couple at the last minute, but I'll stick with these.

I tossed up between Walcott and Weekes. Everton has the better Test average overall 58.6 v 56.7 but against the big two (Australia and England) Clyde got my nod as he was 49.0 v 43.1
Not much separating them but Weekes has Bradmanesque figures against India.
Of the others, I nearly went for a Simpson/Lawry opening pair and spent some time debating Roberts v Walsh. Grimmett is a great choice and one that I missed.
