@RedTiger
 
Good pick that. I considered Hooper earlier on. Classy batsman and sound if unspectacular spinner.
 
No one nipped in and stole this guy so he's in (cheers for clarification that the max 3 from one nation applies to the starting XI rather than the squad!)

@Mani
 
just for knowing, how do you people rate Trott?
As you know, I have a bias against most modern batsmen. Add in he cracked easy the moment he was under pressure, and I don't.

also poor @RedTiger. He doesn't know Shakib's history here does he.
 
Left him for you out of respect! :P

Cheers dude :) to be honest I had hoped my team would look stronger by now, especially looking at other teams who seem to be playing this a bit better than me! But I'm very happy with my first 3 picks, hopefully they can win a match on their own!

Unfair to say he cracked easy. He apparently had a stress related condition since his younger days. He was integral to them winning 3 ashes series and had reached no. 1 in ICC rankings and all.

In the company of some of the players in this draft and who is going to bowl at him, not very highly I am afraid.

Nah most teams have batsmen like this. So it's ok ;)

The moment bowlers found out he couldn't handle bouncers he cracked. What do you think the likes of Ambrose and Garner will bowl to him here?

He faced bouncers and all kinds of deliveries and dealt with them pretty well. He faced the same bowlers for 3 separate series of 5 matches each where he played them pretty well and then it turned out that he couldn't play bouncers? Unlikely.
 
We're averaging a player each per day, I don't think that is too bad. 16 players aren't going to be online all the time.

Just reading about Qasim, and he was one incredibly underrated bowler. He bowled along side Abdul Qadir in the 70's and 80's and finished his career with a better record than Qadir. He has an incredible economy rate, enough to keep the best of them quiet. Wisden also did a piece on Alternate History where players were ranked according to the impact they make in matches (Min. 50 Matches) and he was the highest ranked Pakistani Spin bowler. Found this article interesting to read as well.

yeah i was considering him but chose bedi in the end, much to EAP's dismay.

Where is he anyway? @Edgar Allan Pillow
