No Cricketers Allowed - Everyone can go ahead and finish their teams now!

[CerealKiller]

Asterix will be our main fast bowler. The diminuitive Gaul, with the help of his village druid Getafix's magic potion, will conjure up deliveries Shoaib Akhtar dreams of.
If Asterix is somewhere, Obelix is never far away. The husky Gaul, on whom the effects are the potion are permanent, due to having fallen in a cauldron full of it as a child, will provide power with the bat, of which he absolutely does not lack, and seamers slightly more lacking in speed than Asterix's, due to just a tiny bit of excess fat.
Goli from the iconic and epic cricket movie Lagaan will be the perfect new ball partner for Asterix, with his cunning bowling style, bolstered by Getafix's potion, complementing Asterix's furious pace. Most underrated player in the villagers' team in Lagaan.
Getafix will be the 12th man, providing his magic potion to power up all the players, taking them to a level of invincibility unmatched by anyone else in this draft.

Steeler LEFT HANDED BATSMAN
If there was one thing our team lacked, it was a proper out-and-out crowd pleaser. Fortunately, anyone who's ever been to a Blast Night at Wantage Road will know that cricket's absolute greatest crowd-pleaser is of course Steeler. He's gone face-to-face with the opposition's fastest bowlers wearing nothing but a Northants cap. He's shown off his footwork by stepping straight into the cheerleaders' dances and not putting a single step wrong. The ultimate alpha male. The greatest of all the swashbucklers. Years ahead of his time by making mums and kids feel welcome at the cricket. Steeler simply has it all.

I remember speaking to him at the first cricket game I attended, Northants vs Durham

I remember speaking to him at the first cricket game I attended, Northants vs Durham

An absolute legend.

Also, was that the Durham game this year, when we somehow let Liam Trevaskis only concede four an over, but burgled the win because Durham are objectively dreadful and Northants finally realised we have three spinners who could actually bowl four overs each?

 

[El Loco]

Niccolò Machiavelli

This roight nutter is willing to do absolutely anything by any means necessary, however unorthodox or unsporting, to keep his team in the game. He'll come into our side as a lower order brute ready to hit out at anything and everything to try and scrape home those last few runs. Far from elegant in his approach, no technique is beneath this duplicitous and cunning expedientist, evident in the crude pies he'll be brought on to chuck at the opposition when all else fails.

Beta Ray Bill

There is no better partner for Thor than his staunch ally, Beta Ray Bill. The first person outside of Asgaard deemed worthy of lifting Mjolnir, he was fashioned his own weapon by Odin, Stormbreaker, equal in power to Thor's hammer. Thus began his long-time alliance with the Asgardians and an opening pair ready to make a mammoth first wicket stand.

André The Giant

Coming in to complete our team at number 6 is the one and only certified bad-ass, André the Giant. Better hope nobody comes in the way of his swinging bat propelled by his 21" biceps, plus owing to his massive height there's absolutely no chance of him being done by a bouncer. Prepare for regular hooks sending it flying over the boundary, all he needs to do is get bat on ball.

I know right, and compared to our dino friend at 3 he's an absolute titch.

Yeah, I was there too. Sat in the covered stand next to the chippy. I do love Blast nights at Wantage Road it's a great atmosphere

VC THE SLOGGER
RIGHT-HANDED BATSMAN; RIGHT-ARM FAST

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." - VC the slogger quoting someone else (maybe?)

Taking a page out of @DalePlaysSports' book, I've decided to choose a member of the forums in my team for the role of a slogger. VC the slogger to be precise.
Ain't nobody better than him to come in later in the innings and dispatch the opponent's bowlers, completely obliterating them with sheer force and brutality.

The inclusion of a player of such calibre has shaken the team's composition, forcing one of the previous picks' batting order to be changed, for the better though.
VC the slogger will come in to bat at the sixth slot in the lineup, making Dr. Manhattan move up in the order to the number four position. VC will be a pinch-hitter.

Not to be confused with @Pinch hitter, of course. VC the slogger will play the same role that Dre Russ does for many teams, 'cause just like him, VC can bowl fast.
VC the slogger's proper deliveries will make him the fifth bowler in the lineup, providing the team with another devastating weapon in the bowling department.

- VC will play the role of a pinch-hitter at number six. He will also be a proper bowler.

SUPER BASS BY NICKI MINAJ
RIGHT-HANDED BATSMAN

"Boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass?" - Nicki Minaj

When one of your openers in the team is an explosive, volatile batsman, who plays risky shots very early in the innings, you need the other partner to play firmly.
Super Bass will do just that. Super Bass will provide its team with the perfect base so rest of the batsmen can capitalise on that, and push their team to a big score.

- Super Bass will provide the team with a fantastic base when batting. It will open.
