S Akhtar (Som)
P Hitchcock (Warws)
P Wickarama (Surr) spin

I think we need to look at season averages as well as actual player stats. For this reason I'm opposed to including S.Bin Nasir, D.Maddy, N.Astle, S.MacGill, P.Jones and T.Hawkins.
I missed that T.Thomas is a keeper, so I'm happy to exclude Z.McDonald despite his healthy average this season.

Amended squad to discuss once you've looked at season averages:

Batsmen

M Jenkins (Kent)
O.Hemp (Warws)
T.Thomas (Hamps) keeper
R.Piggott (Leics)
V.Mane (Surr) keeper
B.Akhil (Worcs)
S.Weir (Yorks)

Allrounders

A.Razzaq (Glam)
K.Harvey (Lancs)
G.Hamilton (Yorks)

Bowlers

S.Akhtar (Som)
P.Hitchcock (Warws)
M.Saggers (Kent)
A.Salvi (Lancs)
P.Wickarama (Surr) spin
P.Adams (Yorks) spin

good point. After looking through all the averages and stuff, I'm happy with those players, if you are???

Yep - I'm happy with these players mate.
Let's hope the 4 Day managers aren't desperate for any of our squad. If they are we might need to reconsider, but at least we've got other options available!
By the way you do know that the UK are current holders of the OD All Stars Trophy, don't you? (David and myself managed them to victory)

All Stars squad selected in record time!

Just a small point, but seeing as the Four Day squad is still to be picked, this squad should not be taken as being 100% accurate as Rich and I will want to name some of them in our squad.

Well you'll have to ask us more nicely than that if you want us to cooperate!

Hey Nibblet - what say you select the team for the home games, I'll select them for the away games and whoever gains the most wins selects the team for the final?

sounds fine to me, but if we make the final, I don't have a problem with you naming the team...

Graham

3rd Umpire
I've been an All Stars manager before, so I thought it only fair that you select the team if we make the final.
In the meantime, I'l post the side for the first match as it is an away game.

i was the four day uk manager last season, so damit, i insist, you post the team if we make the final...

D.Kaneria was the next spinner in line ahead of S.MacGill. We took season stats into account as well as actual player stats. Economy rates were also considered.
