Vote for the side that you think is the best - many leading players were ineligible with the restrictions outlined here - http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/threads/non-top-10-players-draft-1920s-and-later.83411/
But to summarise effectively players in the top 10 run scorers/wicket takers or top 10 batting/bowling averages (among those to have batted/bowled in 15 innings) were ineligible (top 5 for SL, Zimbabwe, and Bangladesh). Also nationality and decade restrictions with a maximum 2 players from the same debut decade/nationality

11. Bruce Reid
Relatively content with my side, a strong seam attack with left arm variety with Bruce Reid, Nawaz a capable seamer and ensures that whilst not an allrounder the tail isn't too lightweight with the bat. A left-arm spin option, a leg spin option and an offspin option in Mankad, Mohammed and Dilshan. Pretty happy with my top 6 - went with Gomes because of his decent record v England and Australia despite a middling average overall - had him and another batsman in my mind. Don't know much about Lindsay as a pure keeper although it seems he's reasonably highly rated and he averaged over 60 in his 8 innings at 7 - he only played in one position more (batted in 12 innings at 6.)

Nicely balanced attack
In hindsight I perhaps should've picked Bill Lawry instead of Jones and played Sutcliffe in the middle order (although Sutcliffe had much more success opening than in the middle order).

I couldn't be happier with this side given the rules, spearheaded by 4 star fast bowling all rounders.
