    GUN!

    To be omitted: Sanga, Chanders, Swann, Harris imo. Arguably AB over Chanders.
     
  3. Mariner CL Warrington

    Will not be happy if Swanneh is left out.
     
  4. Shri G Shriram

    No Pujara?
     
  5. Skippos SM Morgan

    oh fucking gun

    hope to survive the cut
     
  6. Alec AD Funkotron

    Love the smell of CricSam in the morning.
     
  7. Eds E Ames

    This can only mean CPL is imminent.
     
  8. Magrat Garlick M Garlick

    Mere money-spinning exercise imo. Greedy BCCCS.
     
  9. Cabinet96 OTN Wood

    I'd omit AB instead of Sanga, but agree with the rest.

    I think the most controversial decision I made was not picking Torres in the CricSim squad.
     
  11. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    No AB or Sanga, who is keeper?

    Don't say Prior.
     
  12. Shri G Shriram

    Philander to dominate.
     
  13. MrPrez CM Dyer

    Amla would be 3, so playing Sanga would probably mean playing him out of position. Haven't followed SL cricket much recently but he's pretty much always been a number 3. Whichever of the two made it would bat 6, and I just reckon it's more natural for AB to be able to slot in such a position.

    You won't have Prior at keeper, but you will have Sanga?
     
  14. loganb JEM Logan

    This is so gun. Although cutting Swanny would be terrible.
     
  15. Cabinet96 OTN Wood

    Prior.
     
  16. Himannv LV Himann

    Hope Harris plays.
     
  17. Cabinet96 OTN Wood

    Maybe. But I'd feel weird picking an inferior batsman simply because he's more suited to the number 6 role than a number four or five. I'd have Kallis or Clarke at five and six respectively.
     
  18. MrPrez CM Dyer

    I'd argue against Sanga being better than AB nowadays. Too lazy to construct an argument, but basically
    Sanga: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/50710.html?class=1;template=results;type=batting
    AB: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/44936.html?class=1;template=results;type=batting

    And Sanga plays on easier batting wickets.

    Ignoring that argument, though, Sanga is a number 3. Rigidly so. 177 out of his 200 of his innings are there.
    AB has played most of his career at numbers 5 and 6. With a middle order of Amla, Kallis and Clarke, you tell me which one seems better suited. In a world XI, there is absolutely no reason to put players out of position and gamble. There isn't enough of a gap between Sanga and AB to warrant it.
     
  19. Howe JHF Howe

    Cool

    Pewzers will select his faves so Prior, Chanders and Swann will all play
     
  20. Howe JHF Howe

    Hunt > Welker btw
