Pretty much everyone came up with a decent team. Hard to choose

OS, Ankit, bagapath, himannv, randycric all have great teams. Spoilt for choice really

Andrew's team boasts possibly the most exciting bowling attack, but the batting is paper thin.

Yeah, I picked too many bowlers/all-rounders at the start (Miller, Warne, Hadlee), by which point most of the top batsmen had already been picked. Plus I should have picked McCabe and/or FS Jackson when I had the chance.

I think yours is a cracking side, and with Shane Warne at number nine paper thin is a somewhat harsh description of a batting line up that's never going to be chasing too many

The 2 B's - Black and Barnes

The 2 C's - Cunis and Constantine

This quartet can knock over the best of batsmen.

Rowe and Phil Hughes can literally bat any opposition out of the game.

Dont mess with my boys. This is like the great squads of eons ago, always against the odds.

Paper thin only in comparison to the rest of these teams of course. Les Ames at 7 is a powerful weapon.

I hate to say it, but SCC1's team probably has the weakest batting unit.

This is the first time I have won a draft (jointly) :)

Thanks for the votes and thanks Andrew for running the draft.
