Cricket Draft - Tests

Hang on second while I visualise my team

Taylor
Atapattu
XX
Lara
Waugh
Shastri
Healy
Vaas
Marshall
Croft
XX

What would people say about pushing Lara to 3 (he does have a superb average there) and picking a 6? Or would a 3 be more appropriate? I don't think I'm really worried about the 5th bowler slot. There about 6-7 more or less similar level bowlers.

You mean 4th bowler right? Shastri is your fifth.. I would aim for a proper 3.. They tend to be rated higher, but upto you

You do have Dravid but Lara and Waugh are more his spiritual soulmates. He wouldn't be happy with you. If you truly loved him, you'd set him free.

You have the ugly, more effective Waugh. Lauda was he his soulmate.

I would play Lara at 3 regardless.

Yeah semantics. I do mean a fourth bowler. Shastri and Steve will split the fifth bowler duties.

3 eh? The best 3 out there is quite tainted by Apartheid shit. I guess I could take one of the other interesting ones. There's a juicy 5 or two out there though...very juicy.
 
It's a shame that Fanie de Villers misses out.
