Stephen's side just has insane batting depth, so think I have to give him a nod, and Red Hill's seam attack is so dreamy as to make me overlook a slight weakness in his spin dept.

 

[stephen]

I don't vote for myself in drafts (though I do love my team, all of whom have at least two centuries to their names) so I'll have to say that the honest hunks and overpriced XI are my two favourites from the others there.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah, keeping my side aside, its a tough choice really. Ankit's bowling attack absolutely demands a vote, but stephen with all the allrounders and Red Hill with a very balanced side that includes my favorite cricketer of all time. Going with the allrounders here, juz for how fun it would be to actually see that kind of a side in action.

 

[jimmy101]

All of these sides are very strong, but voted for HB due to having ATG strength in all areas & Stephen for his super cray-cray batting depth.

 

[stephen]

I like to think that my bowling depth is just as good as my batting depth. All four quicks are legitimate ATG bowlers (Botham only for half his career but still) who complement each other well and Benaud was an ATG spinner. Having Kallis as a 6th bowling option is just the icing on the cake.

Honest Hunks was my first pick. Love the top 3 especially.

Went Red Hill narrowly over Stephen but there wasn't anything in it quality wise. I just like the idea of B Richards and Lara batting together more than Kallis and Barrington.

Haha yeah I picked my middle order to stock around with the tail, not to win any aesthetic competitions.

Congratulations to honestbharani.

Stephen's Superstars for all those gun allrounders!!! and Honest Hunks especially as they have Sir DB.
