Ross Taylor is still playing in domestic cricket for Central Stags. He's honestly a shadow of the player he was at his best, but I'm banking on the muscle memory allowing him to still perform at number four for my team.

Oh no… @Neo 7 has the pick before me and will probably steal my next pick too given the way this draft has been going.

Am I taking a 44 year old wicketkeeper from Luxembourg. Damn right I am.

Joost Mees (not even fully sure this is him pictured)

Phew, my pick will be Colin Munro.

While he never cracked ODI batting he still remains one of the best openers the Kiwis have had in T20Is and was arguably unlucky to have been tossed aside due to a dispute over his freelancing in franchise leagues and the emergence of Finn Allen. He was also utterly wasted as a longer format player given that his only test was at number seven on an overseas tour while his domestic record has him averaging over fifty at a staggering strike rate of ninety-eight. Most regular NZ domestic cricket watchers agree without a doubt that the biggest talent they’ve failed to utilise in tests has been Munro and that says something.

At present though he’s still making a solid living in various T20 competitions across the globe as a swashbuckling opener. He would dovetail nicely with Dhawan’s more considerate approach and will no doubt be an excellent addition to this side of mine.

I assume @VC the slogger gets skipped due to inactivity and so @Paranoid Kendroid has the next pick.

I need an opener, how about Adam Lyth

Adam Lyth
Mushfiqur Rahim
Sean Williams
Shakib al Hasan
Kieron Pollard
Mohammad Nadeem
Michael Hogan

If my calculations are correct:

@Paranoid Kendroid and @Supreme General have outstanding picks

The current pick is with @Aislabie and it is a double pick

I am having a hard time trying to find a 40+ years old active cricketer. Maybe someone can help or else I don't know what to do?
