Alright then, let's get this going. The first overall draft pick of the Lasagne Draft is Sir Ian Botham.

"One of the finest allrounders of all time, Ian Botham was the fastest to the double of 1000 runs and 100 wickets. An English icon, full of endless self-belief, he could change the course of a game in an afternoon. With him, England were a side to reckon with; without him they were abysmal."

3. Ian Botham

As good as Sir Beef was, he wouldn't have been my pick for your side. He never really cracked one-day cricket, even in his peak years

I feel like I've already messed it up.

I feel like I've already messed it up.

Not at all - just because he wouldn't have been my pick doesn't mean he was the wrong pick. He spent his best years batting anywhere between one and seven so he never really had the role clarity to bring the best out of him with the bat.

 

[blockerdave]

I’d have him opening rather than 3.
