I think Marcuss definitely shades the batting in the first battle, with bowling all rounders all the way down to #10, but have to go with Ankitj though as his bowling is stronger, with Jackson a serious fifth option Marcuss's XI lacks.

Second semi maybe even closer. Batting is really hard to split; KK has probably the stronger openers, the 3-6 I don't think I can split, Botham and Knott possibly edge Stewart (in keeper mode) and Gregory, but Pothas has clearly the stronger lower order.

I'd just take Waqar and Paddy C over Steyn and Shoaib as an opening pair, but Botham as first change is clearly stronger than either Gregory or Kallis. I'd take Deadly over Ashwin as a spin option too.

Think I have to give it to kingkallis this time.

International Coach
Tough one. I reckon kk has the better batting and Marcuss has better bowling due to Akram and McGrath. kk has done a better job drafting if you exclude that one extra top tier bowler, so I think I'll give it to kk.
