Post Line-ups Elite League: Australia VIII | Final - The champions of Season VIII are...

Can you tell us whether we need a good batting ar or not?


That's up to you, but I wouldn't be too pleased if I had just Duminy and Abbott as my all-round options. Jim Allenby is probably the only batting all-rounder left that's really worth picking from the Australian contingent.
 
VC no thoughts on my post? :(


Lol, I completely missed it. :p


I don't think our batting is any issue. :p Still how will AB for Kohli trade sound for us? I feel the overall balance of our side is pretty good. What do you have to say about our bowling?


On current form I don't think anyone comes close to matching Kohli (just look at those stats!). Not even AB, despite him being one of ODI cricket's all-time greats on par with the likes of Tendulkar & Richards. The bowling looks alright on paper I guess, but perhaps you could rope in an extra local spin bowling option like Johan Botha, Agar or Jon Holland as a backup. I mean, who else do you turn to if Zampa's ruled out injured? Smith, or Turner? Those two rarely bowl these days.
 
50 trades! @Sartaj and @Fenil would be so proud of you guys.

These sides are coming along well. I am sure most of these actual sides would be picked in real life. Looks like its pretty evenly matched coming into this new season.


On a slightly unrelated note, I have been stalking this thread almost religiously for some time now. If any space opens up, please give me a shout!
 
We bring in Sam Heazlett for Nathan Reardon, our probable squad.
