    Surprised Tunza got so high. Guessing their tail might've had something to do with it?

    Bollocks. This is getting a little tense now though. You're going to have to tell me which top 7 you used for me.

  6. Mousey AJ Son

    Tsotsobe I agree with, but that's got to do with research.

    de Villiers was picked because I really wanted a keeper to bat in the top 6, and thought I'd better get one early - something which was just a misjudgement. Plus he's a favourite. :p

  7. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Well there were better picks than de Villiers to be made but he's one of the best batsmen in the world (has a legitimate claim to a World XI spot based just on his batting) and he can keep wicket. If you wanted to balance your side around having one of your genuine batsmen as your keeper and going with a five bowlers, he was a good pick. Steyn would've been better for sure but it wasn't a shocker.

  15. Jabba HJ Bots

    Reckon this side would be a better side than the one Cribb has used for me

    Dilshan (5)
    Hall (2)
    Tiwary
    Chanderpaul
    Samaraweera
    Taylor
    Pandey/Papps
    Guatam (+)
    Chawla (4)
    Arafat (1)
    Woakes (3)

    might actually end up using this against some of the better bowling sides.

    Farny should be happy with that.

  18. Farny AP Farnsworth

    Yeah, definitely, considering that my priority at the top of the draft was bowling/team balance.

  20. Ged GEC King

    I never really expected to be in the top 5 given that I lack a decent batsman at 8. It could well be the catalyst for Hauritz or Geeves playing ahead of Davies if it comes to it. Having said that, while Hauritz would obv help my batting, he probably wouldn't increase it by that much.

    I'm pretty surprised to be as low as I am though, although, I do lack that absolute class batsman that a lot of sides have.
