Went for Marc, Himmanv & Michael's XIs.

Marc's has a strong bowling attack, deep batting and nobody is majorly out of position. Himmanv follows the same - strong attack and good batting line-up.
Michael drafted really well, and despite having a number 3 batsman at 6, is ahead of most of the other line-ups IMO.

I though these three were the best well-rounded, and kept everyone in position. Kyear extremely unlucky to miss out.
 

Himannv

International Coach
Voted for Blakus, Eds and kyear.

Planned to vote for rvd and Somerset as I ran through that list but they somehow missed out in the end despite having very good teams.

Cricketer Of The Year
Voted for Pothas. Would also have voted for Somerset and Furball but failed to read the instructions. Three very stylish teams.

Jake, could you add those 2 votes for me?

On reflection I think GF's team might just have the edge.

Blakus

State Vice-Captain
Went for rvd619323, Michael7777777 and Somerset.

I would of voted for Gingerfurball, till I noticed that he has a 4-man attack which features Flintoff and Akhtar. I give it a match before 1 of them is out injured
 

kingkallis

International Coach
Probably this is the 1st time we see the votes being shared between teams. None of these team has a clear edge.

If I have to pick one, I'd pick Sam's team.
