Below are all the teams that completed the Test Average Draft. Click the link if you would like to see more regarding the rules of the draft but this was definetly on the more restrictive end hence why some picks may seem unusual at first but were managers balancing quality and balance.
Please vote for your favourite 5 teams in the poll and feel free to leave additional comments in addition to the poll.
Team assessments - have included any extended comments drafters left along with their teams -
Line and Length - "A pair of steady if unremarkable openers are followed a trio of talented middle order batsmen, including an ATG. It may be asking a bit of Bird to be a Test all rounder but he is regarded as such in FC ranks. Larwood is no slouch at #7 with a Test knock of 98 and 3 FC centuries. Langley is a more than competent Test 'keeper, having taken over from the highly regarded Don Tallon. Initially selected in Shield cricket as a batsman, he adds depth to the batting.
Ambrose. Hoggard and Larwood make up a fine pace attack with Hammond and Bird in support. Danish Kaneira, with 261 Test victims, provides the spin with back up from Labuschagne if required."
CricAddict - "The splendid batting depth makes up for the weak top order with Procter and Imran at 8 and 9 to support Kallis and Shakib and Starc batting at 11. Hopefully Barry and Headley can invoke some of the spirit of Barry Richards and George Headley to give the team a good start.
The bowling lineup is the strength of my team. Two atgs in Imran and Procter supported by 2 atvgs Hughes and Starc and also two atg allrounders in Kallis and Shakib. Kraigg can provide some spin support too. Prasanna is a solid keeper who can support them all."
Shri - "Inspired by India. Real batting starts at #6, with two atg bats in the top/middle order order."
kingkallis - "I am pretty happy with this very experienced (More than 800 test matches) playing XI lead by a fine Caribbean. The Aussie bowling attack of Cummins, Thomson, McKenzie and O'Reilly can rattle any batting line up for sure. Worrell, Waugh, Jayasuriya & Ganguly will play the role of that 5th bowler when needed.
Cook & Jayasuriya were caught discussing how to adapt BazBall and management is in the mood to let them enjoy it. Kambli & Ganguly too are excited to take on the spinners while Worrell, Sr. Waugh & Healy will play their natural game."
