[Gaurav_7]

Styris please for 2007.

Damn man, really wanted him badly!

 

[Fenil]

Apologies, changing it to Ryan ten Doeschate

I guess you win some you lose some. I had him as a backup for Styris.

We do think alike, don't we? Styris was absolute gun in the World Cups. I had to give the chance away for RTD as a result.

I think I can afford picking Doeschate here, even though it's not his best WC by any stretch of the imagination. It does help me in taking him away from 2011 for you lot, because I have my eyes on someone else for that year, so a total win-win scenario for me.

Styris' role would've been sort of redundant in amongst the likes of Viv, Dev, Klusener, Botham anyway, I think.

Another all-rounder on the cards? Yuvi would fit in nicely there.

Good pick of RTD. 2015 is going to be VERY interesting.

[Bevab]

I must say I was dreading the moment when I found out I would miss out on Brad Hogg because someone picked him up before his 2007 peak in the '03 round. Or how I would have missed him regardless in the '07 round... until I checked the other sides and noticed that some had already filled their Aussie quotas and also got their spinners!

The only time he missed out on having a good game was in the rain affected final where he still went just above slightly the Lankan RR and picked up the crucial wicket of Sangakkara which turned the game around. All in all, the Aussie spinner who was once a last minute replacement for the legendary Warne went on to be the second most successful spinner in the tournament and was only bettered in the economy rate by the arguably number one ODI pacer back then in his teammate. His wickets were mostly at the perfect moments and beyond those numbers, he simply bowled excellent spin that is yet to be replicated by an Aussie spinner in a WC since. And did I mention that one time he decided to go full on T20 slogger mode and thrash the hapless Scots at the death for an incredible 40 off 15?
