KXIP XI with Ponting appointed as captain/coach in his playing era!

Not a bad team, all of them had done well in Test or FC cricket, agreed little bit bowling heavy at the moment, but at the end of the draft, I guess we'll be good.

Go ahead please. I'll post when I have the time

I'm going to take this advice and go ahead with my next pick.

Ashley Giles (10 points)
143 wickets @ 40.60 (5 5WI, best 5/57) and 1,421 runs @ 20.89 (best 59) in 54 Test matches
539 wickets @ 29.60 (26 5WI, best 8/90) and 5,346 runs @ 26.33 (3 centuries, best 128*) in 178 first-class matches

Ashley Giles was never the sort of players who got punters through the gates to watch the cricket, but he was absolutely invaluable to the England side as a role player for half a decade until a chronic hip injury ended his career while he was still in his early 30s. His role was that of a holding finger-spinner who bowled mostly at the top order, and a number eight batter who would rotate the strike to get the set batter back on strike, and he did both jobs well. Neither was particularly glamorous, but the fact that he played 54 Tests in this dual role shows how important the England team considered him to be.

Aislabie's XI so far:
1. KC Ibrahim (1)
2.
3. Don Bradman (50)

7. Godfrey Evans (0)
