Nice side, kind of crept up on me. I always try to pick at least one leftie in my top 5, I see you opted for 5.

I'd be tempted to play around with that order a touch to mix the right & lefties. Walters or Miller could bat in the top 5 & Lloyd would make a great 6.

Allan Border (c) (7)
Aravinda De Silva (6)
Tony Greig (4)
Richard Hadlee (1)
Wasim Akram (2)
Ian Bishop (3)
Abdul Qadir (5)






An amazingly well balanced side given I got pretty rough drafting positions in the first 3 rounds. ATG new ball bowling attack and very very good 3rd and 4th seamers, mainly coz both bowlers are used to playing those roles for their respective sides. Qadir as the main attacking spinner, Border and Aravinda to provide the other spin options in spinning tracks. Batting wise, some flair from Kuruppu and doggedness from Irvine and the class of Kallicharan, Crowe and Silva with the spine of Border and the all round abilities of Greig, Wasim, Sir Richard and Bishop himself. And a brains trust of Border's steel and Crowe's inventiveness will only spell success for the Hunks. :)
