Pretty happy with my team. Hoping Shafiq goes alright but I'm a little worried. Not as worried as I am about my bowling though. Think it might get nerfed big time to being pretty fucking gash. Really should have taken Philander If anyone wants a batsman (Mahela's probably the only one good enough but if Allenby suits your needs then him too, I guess) for a bowler who'd fit into my xi I'm happy to deal. Too many right handers too
What kind of player should I target with my last pick? Kind of thinking I don't need a reserve spinner given they'll probably be worse than Peterson with the ball anyway and Peterson can cover both spinner and spinning allrounder. Already have a keeper, opener, MO bat, seaming allrounder and seamer too - and it's not like I'm going to be changing my balance really, i'm pretty set in going with 6 bats, allenby and 4 bowlers so I don't need a spare for balance reasons either.
Allenby replacement would be relatively ideal but having just done my best to find a McDonald replacement I can confirm they're few and far between. I'd go for someone to vie for your backup seamer position. There's a few who warrant picking.
He should be fine. Averages 37 in tests over the past 4 years so he should average at least that here I'd have thought.
absolute proper gash in any of the paki fc stuff he's played though. gash enough to bring his first class average in the last 4 years to 30 when his test average is 37 in that period
Jehan Mubarak rounds us off. Feel I'm a bowler light but really Allenby would be my 4th bowler when injuries happen anyway and it's not like who I picked now would be a first choice injury replacement whereas Mubarak might offer something + he bowls trashy dibbly dobblies anyway
Yeah, a long way off for mine. Can't have white man keeping lol Cheers though Gaz, ill message you later
