ffs, backup WK? kazi already has Ridley Jacobs. Moin Khan and RIdley Jacobs are hardly good enough to be played as specialist batsmen in tests.

He picked who he picked. I'm sure he has a plan

Ya, that's true. It just means I have one less WK option to choose from but I am indifferent between the remaining options so won't hurt much.
 
Taylor
Atapattu
N Hussain

Waugh
Shastri
Healy
Vaas
Marshall
Croft
Patterson

Or

Taylor
Atapattu
Lara
Waugh
Jonty
Shastri
Healy
Vaas
Marshall
Croft
Patterson

What do people think?
 
Aaaah. Just checked. He played only no3 and 4. Got confused between him and Nick Knight for some reason. Definitely option A
 
Hashan Tillakaratne. Does anyone find him as effective as a batsman as I did?

I remember him being a nuisance. He was going to be my 12th pick,, MJJ's picks were Moin Kahn and Adam Parore so we may have to wait a while. I'll PM somebody my pick before I sleep
 
So here's what I finished with.

Matthew Hayden
Justin Langer
Rahul Dravid
Aravinda de Silva
Allan Lamb
Hansie Cronje
Jeff Dujon
Daniel Vettori
Richard Hadlee
Bruce Reid
Andy Roberts

I tried to go with proven class at the Test level all through my team. Good balance of aggressive match winners and pure grit and technique, I feel.

Any thoughts?
 
That's a super team. TWo A+ bowlers. Strong supporting bowlers. Amazing top 3. Possible weakness is- 4-6. Lamb couldn't play spin. Aravinda was poor outside the sub continent and Cronje wasn't great shakes. But its a super team given that your weaknesses are fewer and lesser than some of the other teams I see.
