Now fancy this. Almost everyone can put willow to the cherry and we have 5 proper bowlers. Not to forget, apart from Harvey, everyone is batting at their natural batting position which will boost our ratings further.

Niru has my favorite openers while Fenil has Headley, Bradman and Walcott. So, these two teams get my support.

As Varun,said eariler that those days batting & bowling was difficult due to the harsh weather conditions

Bowling was alot easier then. Batting was tough due to lack of proper equipment, average playing conditions etc. That's why batsmen who excelled during that period are rated very well or better than most of today.

I think it gonna pay us to play that many bowlers and no one being a pure bowler. Yes those all allrounders are great bowlers there is no doubt but still they are not what we call a pure bowler and moreover there is no point in making Sir Hutton bowl!! rest is your choice. I too used Botham, Grace, Hammond as bowlers last season but I had to play them as pure batsmen (thanks to varun's advice) so that my pure bowlers can perform. Though it is a warmup so wont mind win or loose and its good to try out all the players but also we must have an idea of a balanced lineup before the real "battle" starts.
........Kamikazes not that weak side

Eagerly waiting to see the performances of the South African domestic great Robert Poore and WI/US' Bam Bam Weekes.
