Team Crappy
Batting - Match winners
In
Gayle,
Kohli ,
AB and
Maxwell - I have 4 bonafide match winners in my line up. Overall the batting has perfect mix of destructive and explosive batsmen with consistent and steady ones. Batting strategy will be straightforward,
Gayle will get to play his usual game while
Guptil would look to consolidate and rotate the strike, if
Gayle goes then
Guptil takes over the destroyer role.
Kohli and
AB who follow can adapt to any situation they find themselves, blast off from the start or pace the innings as per situation. Even after those 4 you have a destroyer in Maxwell to follow and underrated mercurial
Akmal too can score at a quick pace.
Shakib, proper all rounder, can be a floater in the lineup, depending on the situation in hand he can come even ahead of
Maxwell and
Akmal.
Bowling - Pace trio to take advantage of conditions
The pitch is batting friendly but provides something for pace bowlers. The team has a perfect combo of 3 pacers in
Amir,
Akhtar and
Morkel.
Amir only needs a little help from the conditions to be close to unplayable.
Morkel will use his height to bounce batsmen and cramp them from room.
Akhtar, another mercurial Pakistani, can go either way on a day but another match winner to have in the ranks.
To top it off both
Swann and
Shakib are capable of keep it tight on a batting friendly surface.
Maxwell and
Gayle provide the extra bowling options.
Overall the team complements itself very well with proven match winners to edge out a close match if it turns out to be one.
