I can assure you would be happy with my next pick.
@Till Valhalla please submit a new position for Azharuddin at your convenience, as Kelleway is already #5

Round 7
1/2
Ddrap
James Pattinson will serve my squad fit better at 8 than the slightly better Patrick Patterson would at 9, so I've gone him.
Also, he played for the Heat.
Ed
Part-time cricketer, full-time rugbyist Jeff Wilson will bat 7 for Ed.
Aislabie
Ranjan Madugalle, who will play 3, was a fighty batsman who often didn't have resources to work with him; he later became the ICC's most prolific referee.
Fenil
Dominic Cork didn't really put it together at international level, but he was a brilliant FC seamer who'll bat 9 for Fenil.
Parth
Hardik Pandya is a good allrounder. He's Parth's fifth good allrounder and has to bat at three. Such is the draw
Pillowprocter
Mohammad Hafeez could work opening or at 4, but with Procter's openers filled, it's the latter he will be batting at.
Disharies
Lots of teams without keepers might have taken Denis Lindsay here. Not Disharies, who has one. Dennis Lillee waltzes into this team.
Na Maloom Afraad
Ken Shuttleworth isn't Lillee, but he does the job at 10 for NMA, especially given his other options were Vusi Sibanda, Milton Shumba and Shuvagata Hom.
Neo 7
Chris L. Smith was one of the better options in a pool that was not rewarding (again). Opening for Neo
CerealKiller
L Balaji provides some seam at #11. I thought CK had picked the Canadian Balaji for a second, and was very confused.
Till Valhalla
I firstly owe TV an apology; I misread his Azharuddin explanation, and he should have been 6 from the start.
As for this pool, which is quite stacked, Graham McKenzie at 11 was chosen.
Aravind
Johnny Briggs does rather make up for the O'Reilly miss two rounds ago. Kaneria being picked in between means he comes in at 10 instead.
Ahmed
In a pool with a doctor, a Scot averaging 12, and a T20 specialist, Ollie Pope was always going to be the pick - he'll bat six and likely keep.

Round 8
2/2
Ddrap
I'll take Wasim Bari and 9 and hope for a spinning all-rounder.
Pillowprocter
Craig Matthews at 9 will come in as a good seamer for Procter.
Na Maloom Afraad
Aubrey Faulkner at 4. Very simple pick.
Disharies
Spinner Noman (aka Nauman) Ali comes in at the final slot. He's probably a better bat than that.
Aislabie
Aislabie got a fun Sri Lanka pool, and picked Chinthaka Jayasinghe to be average all round at #7.
Parth
The very final dual English international, Arthur Milton, comes in at the opener spot.
CerealKiller
This is the kinda thing that happens at this end of the draft; CK is forced to pass on Kane Williamson to pick Bob Willis at 9.
Neo 7
Sohail Tanvir at 9.
Ed
The pick wasn't actually made please fix this up
Ahmed
Ahmed struggled between two Pakistani quicks; in the end, he went with Mohammad Hasnain at 9.
Fenil
Peter Such at 11; a fairly clear pick from a terrible pool.
Till Valhalla
Among some very good options and Jack Leach, TV took Brett Lee - probably the best. He'll be #10.
Aravind
ML Jaisimha at 5; again, not a brilliant player but best available.

Round 9 (1/2)
Ddrap
Rev. David Sheppard will hopefully bless my batting order (not that it needed it in all honesty) at 2.
Parth
Batting depth is never a bad thing. Just ask Parth, who has Kapil Dev at 9.
Aravind
Peter Burge would have been the obvious pick in a non-Bumrah round last time it came up, and he's the easy pick here too (at 4).
Fenil
Swiss Army Man Ambati Rayudu at #5 here. Butterfingers possible avoids the gloves.
Till Valhalla
Chris Read dons the gloves at 7. Not a minute too soon for TV either, as we're running out of rounds to glove up.
Na Maloom Afraad
NMA also solves his keeper issue, but where to put him? He maximised Paine's strengths at 7 rather than maximising team flexibility at 6.
Ed
I revere Terry Alderman from my Cricket Captain playthrough; he plays 9 for Ed. This does make him very reliant on getting batsmen.

Disharies
In Disharies' position, I'd have taken Herbie Collins to open, as he's more natural. I can see wanting the bowling option though, and Collingwood is definitely not a slouch.
CerealKiller
A third bailout - Geraint Jones has to bat slightly high at 6, but it's better than Gary Kirsten keeping. (Hot tip to Aravind, who's now the last guy keeperless)
Neo 7
George Thompson, who I have no idea the cricket quality of, at 7.
Ahmed
Karim Janat is a slightly different #7.
Aislabie
While this list is international crud (the guy with the most pedigree is known only for breaking his finger in the 1992 World Cup), Steve James was a good county opener, which is what he'll do for Aislabie.
I've just edited this photo in because you somehow decided to include a picture of Marcus Trescothick playing for Somerset. This seemed more appropriate
- Aislabie
Pillowprocter
Doug (Not The Rug) at 10 fills a need - but could Nathan Bracken have filled it just as well?
