So, we now have all thirteen of our unlucky dips!
I will have now go through what everyone's teams look like so far, from best to worst. Teams have been seeded using
my own proprietary super scientific method.
Seed 1: @Yash.
Vikram Rathour
Jacques Kallis
Ricardo Powell
Aashish Kapoor
Josh Hull
Doug Freeman
This team is definitely the early front-runner. Despite the very nature of an unlucky dip, it has really very few weak links in it.
Seed 2: @Till Valhalla
Kenia Jayantilal
Travis Dowlin
Imran Khan
Richard Blakey
Fionn Hand
George Gladstone Marais
There are a couple of players you're carrying in here, but there's also Imran Khan who makes up for the both of them. This has the makings of a devastating team.
Seed 3: @icyman
Blair Hartland
Garry Sobers
Oscar da Costa
Mohammad Salim
Blessing Mahwire
Barry Milburn
It's a similar vibe to Seed 2: you're carrying a couple, but you also have
Garry Sobers in your team. Does life get any better?
Seed 4: @Neptune
John Morris
Chamika Karunaratne
Iqbal Siddiqui
Usman Khan Shinwari
Tabish Khan
Pud Thurlow
Despite the comments of one visitor to the thread, I'd venture to say that there's no bad player in this team. However, there's also probably not any stand-out either, and it lacks a spinner.
Seed 5: @mohsin7827 (no Rob Key Bonus)
Asif Mujtaba
Charles Coventry
Zafar Gohar
Baqa Jilani
Moeez Ghani
Arthur Dolphin
This team covers enough basis that your five recovery picks should fill it out really nicely into a proper all-round team. It would be so much better if Mujtaba had ever figured out Tests though.
Seed 6: @ddrap14
AB de Villiers
Scott Kuggeleijn
Tinu Yohannan
William Solomon
Mohammad Sami
Flooi du Toit
This team has some absolute stinkers in it, but it also has AB de Villiers and that makes up for a lot. And despite his poor record, Mohammad Sami should fill his boots against some of this opposition.
Seed 7: @Supreme General
Stuart Williams
Scott Borthwick
Dwayne Smith
Lee Germon
Robert Stewart
David Johnson
This is going to be a bit of an enigmatic one: both Williams and Dwayne Smith in one batting order is a legitimate recipe for disaster, but maybe Lee Germon could captain the best out of them?
Seed 8: @ahmedleo414
Sonny Moloney
Akram Khan
Karim Janat
Brooke Walker
Ian Salisbury
Harry Musgrove
There's not much to split these last three teams, but for me this
just takes bottom spot thanks to the hideous overlap of having both Brooke Walker and Ian Salisbury filling the same role twice. This team probably can be fixed though.
Seed 9: @Perfect Square (no Rob Key Bonus)
Devang Gandhi
Chris Cowdrey
Glen Bruk-Jackson
Tom Groube
Tshepo Moreki
Vivek Razdan
This team started off so well with a proper opener in Devang Gandhi, but it just went off the rails. Now you've filled five of your bottom six batting spots, but only two of them are proper bowlers. And you don't have a keeper yet. It's going to be
awkward.
Seed 10: @Aravind.
Roy Park
Abdul Hafeez Kardar
Khershed Meherhomji
Roland Pope
Yograj Singh
Trevor McMahon
Speaking of teams with no batting or bowling, this one genuinely sucks. Out of these six, Park and Kardar are your key players, but at least you won't need to find a keeper.
Seed 11: @Aislabie
6.
Shadab Khan
7.
Percy Twentyman-Jones
8.
Rajagopalan Shyamsunder
9.
Dave Gilbert
10.
Charles Coventry
11.
Asma Farzand
I have three specialist bats in my team with a best score of 52 between them in first-class cricket. Shadab is my best player by a fair way, and it'd be a push to describe him as a
proper Test player given how little red ball cricket he has ever played.
Seed 12: @Paranoid Kendroid
Jeremy Solozano
Vijay Rajindernath
Roger Wijesuriya
Simon Kerrigan
Rubel Hossain
Billy Frank
Dude, your team
sucks. At least it has a proper keeper in it, even if he will get a nosebleed batting at seven. It's not much, but it is at least
something.
Seed 13: @CerealKiller
Kevin Kasuza
Gary Crocker
Niaz Ahmed
Ujesh Ranchod
Tapash Baisya
Emile McMaster
This team has
nothing.
