Post Line-ups Legends At Battle XII | Round 3 - The greatest ODI batter who never was..

I see you have marked Bobby Abel as genuine allrounder while Tom Hayward as batting one. Hayward was a very good bowler, capable enough to be in the team on his bowling itself. In fact, he was much better than Abel but he bowled too less for some reason just like Abel. Their FC records shows it quite clearly that Hayward was a very good bowler. White Abel picked up 263 off the 14408 he bowled which included just 3 5fors, Hayward had grabbed 481 wickets to show which included 18 five wicket hauls and 2 10WM hauls that he earned off the 20992 balls he bowled in FC matches. Hayward, in his test cricket days, used to either open the bowling or come in as a 1st change bowler for a solid team like England. Shows that Hayward was not only better bowler than Abel (of course Tommy is better batter anyway), but a world class genuine allrounder of his era.

Happy with my final squad. Threw some wildcards in, but all in all, the potential of an XI to be reckoned with. :D

Another thing is that if any top-order/middle-order batsman is made to bat below no 7, he shall be counted as injured and only 1/3rd of his rating will remain intact.
