That top 4...too much pressure on Kohli to score fast I'd say

Your Initial picks were very strong, but now it looks a little underwhelming. Kirsten and Kohli are good. But wouldn't Lamb and Chanderpaul (I didn't even know he opened until now) bring it down too much ?

Move Dhoni at 5, Flintoff at 6, Shakib at 7. You've wrecked your batting order.
 
Shakib at 8 is a waste as is Dhoni at 7.

dhoni is good at 7. he averages 47 in 28 innings with 2 centuries while batting at 7. (he often comes 5 down for india anyway). He is good in pretty much all positions from 3-7 so its a waste looking for his best position
 
Dhoni at 6-7 is fine. It all depends on what is required of the team. If batting first, he should probably play ahead of freddie. If chasing a game, he should probably play ahead of freddie.
 
and these arent final positions tbh. Depends on our next picks. If we get players that suit us, this goes on. Chanders can bat in the middle order too and Dhoni can move up as well. Dhoni at 7 isnt that far fetched. I remember the pakistan game in chennai some 3 years back dhoni scored 113 or so batting at 7. Freddie is very good at 5. Shakib and O'Donnell would be required to do tailend stuff mostly.
 
  1. Ganguly
  2. Gibbs
  3. De Kock
  4. R Taylor
  5. Martyn
  6. ---
  7. ---
  8. Hogg
  9. Malinga
  10. Waqar
  11. Walsh
Excellent bowling line-up. But maybe Martyn at 4 and Taylor at 5. I don't know much about De Kock. If he can play at 5. Then Taylor-Martyn-Do Kock would be ideal.

Dhoni is twice the batsmen Flintoff was in the ODIs. No sense in Dhoni coming after him.
 
Boycott said:
He opens for SA but I put him at 3 so my experienced players are in their best position.
I think he has been wasted there , move him to top and play gibbs/ganguly one down or de kock to 6,

That's a decent shout. At the moment Martyn is my finisher whereas Taylor is more the anchor but that might change with the next picks.
 
We were thinking of moving Imran below KP and Maxwell, but KP opening? Dont think he has done that a lot.
You are wasting your second best batsman by moving him at 6. Get him to open. Its a non brainer. He usually played at number three for England anyway.
 
Your batting order is all messed up. Move KP to open. Interchange Maxwell and Imran.

That's not the order. Lara at 3, Smith 4, KP 5 and Imran/Maxwell at 6/7. That's our tentative plan
 
Can I get feedback.on my team too guys?

Opening with KP would be weird. He also has an awful record at #3.

It will be smith/KP at #3/#4

Martyn was very versatile. But it's better to use him as a solid foundation for you batsmen at the death to make use of. Taylor was always a little hot and cold. Which is why you could probably play with him at 3 or at 5 depending on what you're looking to extract. I don't know much about de Kock, so can't comment on him.
