Er, there's no Warne or Lillee in this draft?

Sadly no. I think most had their pace bowling quota covered. Skizzo went for Murali and I went for Kumble thinking Warney was a gonner.

Planning will be next to impossible with 12. We won't know who we will face in the Quarters and what ground we get or who we are willing to 'sacrifice' until the replenishing is over. It could just as easily blow up in our face. And I think it is only fair that the finalists, who ever they are, get a full squad to choose from. It would be very unfair if one team has the better players but are playing on a pitch not suited to them. It would be a great final, if they both put out their best possible sides (or what they think is the best possible side) to make it a very worthy one. If we get a final as good as the PS18 and RT match, then that will be brilliant.

Why can't that balance be achieved with 12 players? As far as tracks are concerned, you can have an extra soinner/pacer as your 12th man to rotate as per the requirements of the pitch. Anything more takes away a lot from the initial drafting imo.

Ya 2 for quarters, 1 for semis, 1 for final is what I am thinking for replenishing. Everyone has 12 right now. The interesting bit is, should I let everyone carry current squad and add to it or 'sacrifice' equal number of players from current squad to the additions they get is what I am wondering :)

Let everyone pick 2 players now, but they have to give up one of their players in return. After that, 1 player picked in the semis and 1 picked before the finals.
