Who are taking the piss?
Englishman here
You're lying mate! No way you ignored Botham for Ntini
Two Englishman ignored Botham and blocked each other on Ntini

@crappycraperson and @Kazi left I think.

At least an Englishman picked himBotham over anyone on the 1st pick match winner with bat and ball
Donald > Waqar. It's easy
Donald > Waqar. It's easy
Waqar has a better strike rate in tests with almost the same average, more five/four wicket hauls as well.
Waqar had the higher peaks imo, but Donald was overall more consistent in his career.
That's why I avoided him. Figured he'd be a sure pick for a few people. Thought too much about it and ended up with a third pick. Ah well
This I would agree with.
Donald did it everywhere. Waqar was much more of a bully in Pak IMO.
For me Marshall and Ambrose stand above all picked there. Botham was the only allrounder that got through, fair play.
McGrath should be with Marshall/Ambrose but I like my bowlers quick. He was just insanely accurate

Ditto.
Now I realise that stacking your team with all rounders is the way to go.
Btw Ntini > Pollock
Not really the same type of player though so a little unfair to compare them.
I think...
Yeah, McGrath was a metronome but I like having a spearhead that intimidates batsmen more. Still, McGrath with the right support could be devastating.
Sure but if we were going specialists instead of all rounders then I doubt Pollock would be in with a shout for that criteria. Anyway that's being pedantic
Was surprised seeing Brett Lee never got 10 wickets in a match
Ambrose was a scary freak. Devastating bowler.
It's about even I'd say though Pollock is obviously a better batsman
It's about even I'd say though Pollock is obviously a better batsman
I still have to get home and have a serious think
Pollock was definitely better bowler than Ntini. Ntini's success was down to big heart effort and perseverance. Pollock was more skillful bowler. Ntini also benefited while bowling along side Pollock who was miserly so batsmen used to take more risk vs Ntini.
I've been thinking and so far, all I've done is made my bio for my first pick. It's only five words.
Go on then, post it.
Yep. Not even close, and I love effort bowlers like Ntini.
Yes Pollock gets the upper hand here,Nitni is the bowler who could surprise batsman with some odd bouncers angling into batsman completely unplable at times but Pollock was consistent of those two with some good swing around off stump with proper length.
When is the deadline?
It would come to personal preference I would say.
And Waqar's got some great performance in England,New Zealand,Windies and south Africa to his name.He didn't have much chance to play in India on his peak .And I don't remember much of him Australia.
His swinging Yorkers are mostly unplable/unpredictable and he it uses to proper effect . Along with wasim they used late swings the ball a lot .Donald got his Yorkers right but not the great exponent of late swing may that because pitches in sub continent assist much better than else where.
5 hrs from now?
24hrs is too much.
Who's left? We're into the last hour.
12 would be plenty, I think.
Crappy and Kazi were left. Hopefully both have submitted their choices.
This might take time since my internet at office isn't working. I can send the excel sheet if someone wants to post the results.
Don't mind, I'm online for a while.
