Imagine being late to the draft you started in the first place.
I’m going to let my heart rule the head once again like in round one and pick
Mushtaq Ahmed. Before the likes of Rashid, Tahir, Narine and Ajmal this wily old maestro was spinning his web in county cricket for Sussex and masterfully so. He may eliminate three very strong county sides for me in the upcoming rounds despite not being an English player but the fact that he provides me with such an excellent wrist spin option with a multitude of variations means that he is absolutely worth the cost. His numbers in the official T20s he played are too good to be believed with a bowling average close to fourteen and going at less than a run a ball. And if you suspect that it was a bit of English bullying, he played in one of the ICL editions and absolutely bamboozled everyone, leading his side to the final where only a certain talented youngster known as Ambati Rayudu denied his side the title. If only he were ten years younger, he may have well been a bigger name in the T20 folklore.
@Neo 7 to continue. Hopefully I can get some of the updating work done soon enough.

Unfortunately Ajmal seems to have played for
Titans in 2013/14 (the same side AbD played for domestically) and I had originally assumed this was a different T20 side in the subcontinent rather than the South African domestic one because let's be honest, who would have thought that two of the world's best finger spinners at that time with the white ball would have rocked up to play in a domestic T20 competition in South Africa as overseas pros out of all the places in the world (also a strange coincidence that both of them were reported for chucking a few years down the line)?Hence I'm afraid you'll have to change your pick unfortunately. A shame as Ajmal was a great pick otherwise and didn't clash anywhere else.

Test Cricket is Best Cricket
The question of who has the highest career Twenty20 batting average would be a cracking pub quiz question. And the answer is my next pick: Chris Harris. The ferociously bald left-hander and medium-pacer averaged 70.55 with the bat across his T20 career, and coupled it with a career bowling economy of 6.25. His hundred came off only 51 deliveries and was made in less than an hour: incredible batting from the most difficult place in the Twenty20 batting order (number four).
