Tuffey was a decent international bowler. Is there anything else to say?
(maybe that I swear NZ have produced 15 of this guy)

Nominated by: @Ed Smith (Daryl Tuffey, we're going exotic Ed eh?)

Wow, my team is coming along superbly
1. Keaton Jennings
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8. Greig Williamson
9. Clarrie Grimmett
10. Dennis Lillee
11. Daryl Tuffey

Of course I will need to find some batting soon, but the fact that I don't really have any non-cricketers yet is such a blessing.

Wasim Haider

Either there's a second Wasim Haider here or Mohsin has been generous. Now, who could possibly benefit from his generosity?

I think he was the catalyst for Rayudu to play ICL.

He absolutely was.

Well, that's generous. But any draft is better for Richie in it.

Nominated by: @Yash.

Suddenly I don’t feel bad about my nomination.

Qadeer Ahmad

This guy avoided going to Proctor by one place, which given Lou Vincent is already there definitely works well for his team spirit. But otherwise... bog standard associate

Imran Khan

Unfortunately, this is Imran Khan Jr. Fortunately, he's really good at domestic T20s and I suspect he won't have an issue with Reynold Aravinda as such.

Brian Murphy

Cricinfo describes this dude as a "talented legspinner". I will describe him by saying that his bowling averages look like Marnus Labuschagne's batting ones.

Kushal Bhurtel

If Nepalese cricket had any morals, Bhurtel would be the national team star. An aggressive opener, he can take down an associate attack. Unfortunately, names such as Lillee, Ntini and Trueman have already been picked.

Decent enough

Surely sniped directly from Supreme's pick list if his history is anything to go by, apparently the Sherlock Holmes author hit the ball very hard. He averaged 19 though, so far was a different story. Also offers that rare bowling discipline, right-arm Slow.

If this is the one who played tests as a holding bowler then he’s perfectly decent.

Fabian Allen

Despite looking like Andre Russell ran through a copier at 80%, Allen is a spinning allrounder. And, while not a world-beater, he's good enough to be a solid win for any team getting him here.

This one played 3 T20Is in 2015.

No idea if the pic is right because about three Imran Khans have played for Pakistan in the last 10 years and they're all quicks
