IN PROGRESS Yes, Another Big Bash Themed Draft

Thunder #6: Sir Garfield Sobers
Role: All rounder

Test batting average of 57.78, and a gamut of variations with the ball - left-arm wristspin, slow left-arm orthodox, medium pace, you name it. He was the first person to hit six sixes in an over in first-class cricket and was an excellent fielder too

01. :aus: :bat: David Warner
02. :jam: :bat: Chris Gayle
04. :ind: :bat: Suryakumar Yadav
05. :bar: :ar: Garfield Sobers
06. :pak: :ar: Shahid Afridi
10. :bar: :bwl: Joel Garner

Thunder #7: Dean Jones
Role: Accumulator

Ideally I would have wanted Virat as my no. 3 as he is gone I will go with Dean Jones, just like Virat he pushed fitness, and was essentially the first batter to really push the ones and twos hard in ODIs and he'd be phenomenal as the t20 no 3.
