82. Steve Magoffin

 

[SouthSwans]

83. Adam Gilchrist

 

[Chris25]

Apologies SouthSwans, but I need a captain and had planned on taking Gilchrist here. Instead, I'll have to take the captain/coach of the former Rajasthan Royals and a guy who would still easily be our #1 spinner if he hadn't have retired from international cricket...

84. Shane Warne

Huge hitting batsman, who can bat anywhere in the line up and also bowl some handy spin....

85. Tom Cooper

 

[SouthSwans]

Gutted...

Ah well, 86. Steve O'Keefe

 

[Chris25]

Ever since you picked Warne but then decided to wait until later, I had planned on taking Gilchrist with my last pick....

 

[Chris25]

Well my team is done. It might not be the best looking team on paper, but every one of my players is capable of turning the game on it's head. Powerful hitting down to #7 (not that Warne, Swann and Rimmington can't bat), two top quality spinners and the fastest bowler in the world.

SA Redbacks

1. Brendan McCullum (wk)
2. Aaron Finch
3. Kevin Pietersen
4. Lee Carseldine
5. Andrew Symonds
6. Daniel Christian
7. Abdul Razzaq
8. Shane Warne (c)
9. Graeme Swann
10. Nathan Rimmington
11. Shaun Tait

12. Luke Pomersbach
13. Tom Cooper
14. Aaron O'Brien
15. Shane Harwood

I don't think I actually have a set XI though. It would depend on the situation, as to whether I'd play four bowlers in addition to my all rounders or play an extra batsmen instead. Razzaq has opened the bowling quite a few times for Pakistan in recent times while Christian is a genuine wicket taker. Plus Symonds, Pietersen and Carseldine are all more than handy bowlers. So I wouldn't be short on bowling if I did play an extra batsmen.

As you complete your list with your last pick finalise your squad list on the other thread and write one or two sentences about your squad - strengths, tactics, anything you like, just keep it brief. I'll put together a poll thread that includes each of the squads and your comments and we'll open up voting to all on BF for a week.

88 - Ben Laughlin

Pick 89 - JP Duminy (RSA)
One of the more underrated international players. Averages over 30 in International T20 at a very good strike rate. Has the ability to bowl if needed and is an excellent fielder.
