Nah. The team people call "England" is officially known as the England and Wales Cricket Board. England are as much Wales as Wales are England.

Batting: 14.02 Bowling: 44.39 His bowling is capped from what was originally 41.04 due to not bowling enough weighted overs yet. Namibian players would be worth a bit more if South African amateur three-day cricket counted as they've fielded a team in that occasionally and some of their players have gone well in it. Those games just don't count at all though.
Now as a cautionary tale I should point out that this guy has 167 first class wickets @ 23.64. Moral of the story is: Don't pick South African non-franchise cricketers
Pretty relieved to see NZ edge out NSW. That said domestic tournament with 66 first choice players getting the same amount of picks as a team that has 11 is pretty dire.
Basically, the entire Sheffield Shield got picked. The Australian XI plus the six state elevens is 77 players and Australia had more players picked than that.
I'd like to change my first few rounds, I have no issues with any of my later picks. I could've waited a little on Franklin and Hilfy is such a dire early pick really. I'd be so stoked if I got a Morne Morkel or something and then got Franklin later. Actually looking back at it the best bowlers picked after when I got Franklin are Gul, Tsotsobe, Clark and Harris. Meh
I'm actually a huge fan of Hilfy. What a workhorse. I suppose it's the same kind of reaon that I used to like Paul Collingwood.
