Dhoni at 6 and Lehmann at 5. Go with a bowler IMO incase you need to replace Dev. You already bat deep with Pollock and Lee also being able to swing it around

Mccullum before Harris. Distinct lack of spin in the team. Only Sohail, who was part-timer himself. I would be pretty happy if I came up against this bowling attack

Agree with crappy. Also, promote McCullum as that batting line up seems very 'pedestrian', as in they're innings builders. Not known for accelerating the rate of scoring.
 
My team BTW -

Jayasuriya
Gayle
Greame Hicks
Andy Flower
Steve Waugh (c)
Jonty Rhodes
Umar Akmal
Oram
Mushtaq Ahmed
Waqar Younis
Bishop
 
Sachin Tendulkar
Graeme Smith
Kumar Sangakkara
Dean Jones
Ross Taylor
Craig McMillan
Dwayne Bravo
Harbhajan Singh
Paul Reiffel
Zaheer Khan
Lasith Malinga

I've gone for an attacking and balanced unit overall, keeping in mind the evolution of the sport.

Any suggestions on my 12th pick?
 
This is my team so far:
1. S Anwar
2. T Dilshan
3. B Lara
4. M Jayawardene
5. A Ranatunga
6. A Stewart
7. A Razzaq
8. I Pathan
9. S Ajmal
10. D Fleming
11. G McGrath
 
Since everyone is doing it, here's my team.
1. Marvan
2. Knight
3. Cronje
4. Pieterson
5. Symonds
6. Klusener
7. Taibu
8. Hall
9. Akram
10. Gough
11. Saqlain

Thoughts or suggestions?

2-Dippenaar
3-Clarke
4-Martyn
5-Styris
6-Taylor
7-Vettori
8-Mills
9-Donaldo
10-Ntini

Thoughts?
 
I'm a little confused. Where exactly are we with the draft?

Why has MJJ replaced Broad? Is that Chris Broad and he wasn't eligible or something?

Whose pick is it next?

Some suggestions would be welcome. I don't know what to do for the 12th man.

Brilliant top 4. Anwar and Dilshan together is a fantastic pairing. Lara and Mahela to follow is brilliant.

That's an average fielding unit though.

I realised that a bit late in the draft. And there are quite a few so-so ones. But I can't do anything about it now. Will probably lose a few points for that.

Its Omar's turn for a final pick. And his 12th man pick. Has anyone PM'd him? If yes, then MJJ can start the 12th man pick round.

I'm an average pacer, mate. Spin's my forte.

Styris is too high, Taylor probably needs to open with Hayden.

I picked stuart broad but mightberight had picked him three/four turns ago but nobody noticed. I was looking at all the draft picks yesterday and realized this so replaced him.
 
Might want to shorten time to an hour or two to finish this today.
 
Update the team list Omar.
