As is nm03. That was his next pick.
Interesting choice. I'd love to see how you are going manage who's opening. All three are opening batsmen. And that's their strongest position in ODI's.
Unless he wants Watson at 7.
Amla can bat at 3 as well. I was planning on getting Mark Waugh and playing at 3 or 4 infact
Who? nm? He should have PMed a second preference surely.
I personally haven't seen him at any other position in ODIs apart from the opening slots.
2 matches at an average of 25 (versus 60 overall) at no.3. Strike rate of 54 (versus 91 overall)
Hash is wasted at 3 IMHO. He was promoted to open for SA to take advantage of the PP overs. He's a stroke player that will pierce the field at will in the first 15 overs. After that he just builds.The reason Hash has a SR of 90+ in ODI's is exactly because he was moved to opener. He also opens for the Dolphins, his local franchise. A bit like Sachin for India.
He will have to demote Watson then I guess
Kirsten and Amla will open for me. Watson will come in at No 3 in all probability, depends on the other batters i can get.
Kirsten and Amla will be great together. Left and Right handed combination, a gritty and stable customer along with a strokemaker.

I pick Virender Sehwag.
Finally. I was beginning to feel bad for him.
Yes and No. Had to be picked this round though.
That's all folks. Join us in 5 hours 45 minutes, when a groggy nm and RI join us for their next pick.
was going to be my pick 
Our first, second AND third choice picks are taken i see.
I can't handle the anguish while taking my morning crap. Be back in a while.

Are you in the middle of the Atlantic, by any chance?
This is interesting to watch, some good cricketers not picked up yet.
Quite a few, but let's not make it public.
There's 2/3 fellas who I am really surprised who haven't been picked up.
How is kohli going to be judged? He hasn't had a long career and many players struggle after a flying start to their career. I don't have any opener .Had gambir as my first choice but mightterbright twat
.Had gambir as my first choice but mightterbright twatWell I think Kohli has similar number of matches as Amla so as an ODI player he is up there. He even proved himself down in Oz with that ridiculous inningsHow is kohli going to be judged? He hasn't had a long career and many players struggle after a flying start to their career. I don't have any opener
I had a list of 13 after I made my pick, it is down to two
Kohli's the epitome of a flat track bully, but he's proved he can hack it outside as well...decent pick. Adds a lot with his fielding ability.
Didn't realise that he has already played 90 odis
zzzzzzzzzzzz
Modern players play a lot of ODIs. You'd think of someone 'established' from the early 90s and they would've played less matches than the likes of Kohli.
How's he the epitome of a flat track bully?
