[Howe_zat]

Give Salman a 12th man.

Nominate Mohammed Sami.

 

[Himannv]

Wow it took longer than I thought to get this up.

 

[Himannv]

Give Salman a 12th man.

Nominate Mohammed Sami.

Does it really matter?

 

[ankitj]

Himmanv, could you please post correct link to my team: http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/52148-scorecard-draft-ii-61.html#post2634112

 

[Himannv]

Himmanv, could you please post correct link to my team: http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/52148-scorecard-draft-ii-61.html#post2634112

Seems like the same link. Maybe a mod fixed it already.

 

[Spikey]

Liking Marcuss. Got McCabe in it

 

[weldone]

How many teams can I vote for? GingerFurball and Howe_Zat have great teams. I like Joe's team, too.

 

[Himannv]

Any number you want. Rather people dont vote for themselves, thats just getting lame.

 

[weldone]

Please change the link to my team's 'short' description to this one;

http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/2632149-post886.html

 

[Himannv]

Changed.

 

[weldone]

...voted for GingerFurball, Howe_Zat and Hoe...They not only have the best players, but they also have the perfect balance and combinations for a test team. In Howe_Zat's team Sobers might like to bat at no. 5 ahead of Graveney, though.

 

[NUFAN]

I think Marcuss has the best team.

I'm confident that Mankad, Gregory and Hammond can do enough as 4th, 5th and 6th bowling options as both Walsh and Warne are very capable of bowling long spells. The batting lineup is the best overall IMO.

Turns out I voted for Cevno too, I didn't mean to - not that he doesn't have a good team or anything.

Weeman and weldone were very close to getting my vote.

Somerset and Furball had the bowling attacks I would must want to watch.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Howe_zat has the best team, IMO. His lower middle order is the stuff of nightmares for the opposition.

I'd like to vote for 3-5 teams, and I'll lay off voting until I can make up my mind on the remaining ones. A lot of teams seem to have awe inspiring bowling attacks, but they all seem to be at the expense of a strong and deep batting line-up. IMO we have mostly gone overboard under the (arguably true) impression that a strong bowling attack is a greater influence on the voting than a long batting lineup.

 

[Cevno]

Both Howe_zat and Marcuss's bowling attack is a bit weak though compared to others.

Will vote later after going through each team.

 

[Howe_zat]

Reckon Furball has this, as he has arguably both the best top four and the best pace attack. Other teams have specialised in one area.

Don't think anyone can match my overall batting lineup though. Not going to pretend otherwise, I built my team around the idea as soon as I had that 6-8. Genuinely think I should get votes from anyone who values batting long.

There are a couple of sides that came close here. Weldone has an awesome pace attack, but the tail lets him down. Cevno has the best spin combo by miles. I also think 8ankitj has a really nice allround side, and I'd have voted for him if he had a better keeper/batsman.

 

[Jarquis]

Which are did I specialise in?

 

[Howe_zat]

Which are did I specialise in?

Your middle order is a lot better than anything else in your team. Hobbs and Warne are greats, yeah, but they don't have great partners.

 

[weldone]

Weldone has an awesome pace attack, but the tail lets him down.

Botham is my no. 7 batsman, he is a genuine match-winning batsman. Benaud at no. 8 is one of the most prolific spin-bowling allrounders in the history of the game.

I think you are referring to my no. 9, 10 and 11 of Hall, Lillee and Snow as the tail. Sure they don't bat like Bresnan, Broad and Swann; but all of them average around or above 15 with the bat. So they aren't Chris Martins either. They are pretty decent for no. 9, 10 and 11 IMO.

While there are negative points about my team, I don't think my tail can be one among those, especially since Benaud is more than able for a no. 8.

 

[Himannv]

I reckon Somerset, Cevno and marc have pretty underrated teams although Furball really stands out and Joe's team is good as well. Hard to say really.
