I need a quick who can bowl all day and hold an end down while Akhtar and Johnson wheel away at the other end. As Alec Stewart says - "Put a ball in his hand and he'll run through a brick wall for you."

At least that's my thinking for what it's worth.

Yeah agree with you. When I sae Johnson and Akhtar in that attack, I felt a bit nervous tbh. Gough lends some stability.

hmmm... Trent Boult

Liking these teams here!

Camo999, nice batting lineup featuring some real battlers. I'm fascinated to see what havoc the new ball unit of Constantine/Patterson/Spofforth could summon before Gupte & Mankad take over. Hopefully you get another quality bowler/allrounder to complete this potent attack.

Mr_mister, your batting lineup has a few underrated batsman such as Stewart, Jardine & Azhar & has the potential to be very powerful. I'll be interested to see if you choose Stewart as your 'keeper or select a full time 'keeper. I hope you can also solidify your bowling with another quality player.

KingKallis, so far your team has strength in most departments. It has batting depth, lots of bowling options & bowlers of different varieties, a fine balance plus quality specialist players such as McDermott & Merchant. It will be fascinating to see who you select to round off this team.

Watson, your bowling attack of Johnson/Akthar/Gough/Wardle is deadly. Not only does it have the potential to bowl out teams very cheaply, but, if Johnson & Akthar both have an off day, then the attack still has Wardle, Gough, Reid & Aravinda to carry on. Your batting lineup is shaping up quite nicely too.

Good luck with the rest of the draft everyone! I don't think there's been a draft that has scraped the barrel as deeply as this one on CW before, good stuff.
