I was going to say, I think I have half as many players as everyone else, my picks have been a bit shoddy because I've been unsure when my go is and worried about holding it up haha
My next two are, well, my bowling is looking well thin, so I've decided to bolster that with another saffer (please tell me if I've picked someone already taken, I've looked but cannot see him)
So, I'm going to skip an obvious choice and go for two leftfield ones
mulling over 3 bowlers, I've decided to plump for
Chatfield
yes, Ewen Chatfield, he was built to be accurate and nagging, probably would have been more effective these days than he was, his ODI stats of 25.84 and an economy of 3.57 look good but admittedly are some way off the great west indians around at the time. They are none the less, quite useful. Interesting in 1984 his performances were so good it has propelled him to the 6th highest score ever in the ODI rankings, better than marshall, holding, roberts best ever scores (of players from the same era, more attacking batsmen have meant that these scores are not fair to compare across era's) and he was to maintain this performance for most of the 80s, he will play my bracken role.
and I think I will take
Makhaya Ntini
I think I would have kicked myself if someone else had taken him, , his average and economy are impressive, but he should be noted for his ability to run through teams and simply take wickets, and despite not having the express pace of Lee, waqar or akhtar his SR falls in with theirs, he saved his best for australia with a 6/22, and didn't average over 30 against a single team. Consistent wicket takers are hard to find and he is one.
