My-line-up for game 1:

(wished I had picked more bowlers)

- Azhar Mahmood^
- Herschelle Gibbs
- Inzamam-ul-Haq ^
- Brian Lara (c)
- Mohmmad Yousuf
- VVS Laxman
- Jacob Oram ^
- Geriant Jones (wk)
- Shane Bond^
- Rangana Herath^
- Musthaq Ahmed ^

and yeah, Inzi will bowl his left arm bowling to become bowler number 6.

Even Katich and Bevan were used ahead of him as a part timer. You can judge by that. Katich and Bevan themselves were shoddy bowlers even for part timers.

I quite disagree with that. One does not simply average under 30 as a part-time spinner if he's really that bad. Lehmann was certainly better than Katich in limited overs cricket and often broke partnerships when tossed the ball. Katich never even bowled for Australia in ODIs, ever.

And how do you call part-timers with a 10-fer and a 6-fer to their name in Test cricket shoddy? Bevan was far more useful than his average of 45 suggests if you take a look at some of his useful full quota spells. Certainly he was in the 90s, but injuries & age hampered him in the 2000s. But yeah, Katich would be quite shoddy in 50-over games because of his lack of control and accuracy with those chinamans. Not Lehmann and Bevan (if he can go back in time to his 90s self) in my opinion.

Bevan was a better bowler when he flagged of his test career back in 1996-97. Both five wicket and 10 wicket hauls came in his first test which was against us. If you watch his bowling videos from the latter half of his career in particular, you can see he was not that accurate anymore then. Lehmann too started off very well in his (domestic) career but he lost his shape. That is what I noticed. However, both of them were absolutely brilliant limited overs batsmen without a shadow of doubt.

@Ahmad94
Have you looked into freeagent trades. That was announced specifically for you. Better have some bowling options.

You cannot have Inzamam as a bowler.

Michael Kasprowicz in --> Jacob Oram out
Thilan Saraweera in --> Yasir Hameed out

Michael Kasprowicz in --> Jacob Oram out

Sorry. We're not willing to part with Kasper.

Ajay Jadeja in, Andrew Hall out. There's the middle order dominator we were looking for. He often sucked as an top order player but was one of the best middle order batsmen India ever had in limited overs cricket.

You can do maximum of two trades.
Michael Kasprowicz is part of another team.

Stuart Clark - Ajay Jadeja trade is confirmed.

You are fine with having just seven bowling options for the entire tournament ?

I will put Samaraweera - Hameed trade on hold for time being.

my bad.

In that case, I would like to bring in Andrew Hall and leave out Yasir Hameed.
