Boycott and Hayden balance each other out considering the nature of the pitches. . on bat friendly and spin pitches Hayden is no mug.
Feel sorry for NM as I don't think Hadlee id getting enough credit here. . one of my favourite ever bowlers and arguably has the best action and very complete bowler.
Underwood not as easy on the eye as a Bedi but for menot any less eeffective. It's a tight match but me personally I wasn't convinced by Gillespie and Southie. I like P Pollock and he's rated highly but having watched him he was not in the same class as an Akram or Garner and therefore your pace attack is heavily reliant on Hadlee.

Fair enough. Good game @prath92. You have a class team and it was pretty even, as the results reflected.
Lessons learned:
1. Greg Chappell is criminally underrated. Happened last draft too. The guy is a top 5-7 batsman, and he's treated as simply very good.
2. Hadlee is underrated. I took him ahead of Akram, and it looks like Akram is (wrongly) rated higher, especially because: 1. Hadlee was great almost everywhere. 2. He was a lone wolf while Akram always had another GOAT next to him.
3. Underwood was picked too early by me.
Slightly annoyed, but at least I went out to a very good team, and its only a game!

Yeah @NM had a very good team and some very great players like Hadlee Chappell and Boycott. Some of my fav players. Tough one.
You have Seen pollock? The guy bowled in the 60s and 70s?

Found quite a fair bit of youtube footage on him. Quality bowler, just not as eye catching as rumours would suggest IMO.

Just so you both know, I didn't not have time to vote, or forget to vote or anything like that
Just didn't think either team deserved to go through. Thanks

Yeah we knew you had time. Just that we didn't really need you to vote.
