This looks phenomenal IMO (yes I intend on using Botham as a bowling all-rounder).

You and Fenil have envious teams already..

Muralitharan

Wait a second… Murali wasn’t picked in ‘96?

 

[Gaurav_7]

Really happy to get my all time favorite fast bowler. Shane Bond!

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

He opened in '92, Wasim got him with the new ball in the final

All the more reason for me to not put him there then. His average of 21.33 and strike rate of 58.35 during '92 don't make a case for him opening either.

 

[Bevab]

Great minds do think alike.

Makes sense to go for Davison first when you've already got a keeper.

Yeah I was planning to go with a certain all-rounder until I noticed Moin had a decent aggregate of runs scored whilst batting in the middle to lower order at a very healthy strike rate, a strong performance against a top side and was also a keeper. Quite fascinating that even if you don’t get picks in the calibre of Aravinda circa ‘96, you’d still get decent ones if you aren’t early enough.

No! Rudi changed it to Kirsten

 

[CerealKiller]

Changing my pick to Collins Obuya, my associate pick. Slots in at 8.

 

[Fenil]

Aah! I loved his bowling. He was probably the only fast bowler that the legendary Aussie team of the early 2000s would genuinely fear.

 

[Bevab]

No! Rudi changed it to Kirsten

Didn’t notice that at all, too many player changes makes it quite confusing to follow.

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Herschelle Gibbs

 

[Bevab]

Herschelle Gibbs

Picked already.

I’m quite surprised that @Aislabie didn’t go for Gibbs in 2003 too, the only reason why I opted to leave him out in ‘99 was because his 2003 performance was ridiculous.

 

[Ed Smith]

Stephen Fleming?

Chaminda Vaas then
