[SouthSwans]

14. Kumar Sangakkara (SRL)

[happy_eagle]

Was tossing up between two players for my last pick, nice to know the other one is still there
A dominating all rounder

16. Shahid Afridi

Pick 17 - David Warner (NSW)
Not very good in the longer forms of the game but in T20's he is an absolute gun and can win games by himself.

Pick 18 - Mahela Jayawardene
End Of Round 3
Pick 19 - MS Dhoni


Jayawardene's been probably the best T20 batsmen in the world over the past 12 months, top scoring in the most recent IT20 World Cup and being near the top in the most recent IPL season. Dhoni is straight forward. Although I wanted to pick a personal favourite player, I'm hopeful he'll last to my next pick.

 

[SouthSwans]

Pick 20 - Mitchell Johnson (WA)
Perhaps not the greatest bowler in T20 but his ability to actually bat makes him a just that much more valuable player.

 

[happy_eagle]

Probably going to regret picking another International pace bowler, but this guy can do both
Pick 21 - Jaques Kallis

And thats my international quota full

 

[Phone]

ARGH. I was hoping the reputation Jacques has would see him last longer. damnit.

 

[reggie]

He was on my hitlist too. I'll take my first Aussie

22. Ricky Ponting

 

[SouthSwans]

23. Brad Hodge

 

[Chris25]

England's best batsman....

24. Kevin Pietersen

The most damaging (not flashiest) all rounder....

25. Abdul Razzaq

 

[reggie]

Sitting, waiting, hoping my player doesn't get picked...

 

[happy_eagle]

Sitting, waiting, hoping my player also dosnt get picked
Doubt he would though

 

[reggie]

SS has just over 6 hours until his time is up for this pick. However, with me next in line, it's likely SS will still get on and take his pick before I'm on again in the morning (being in Perth)!

 

[SouthSwans]

26. Shakib al Hasan

 

[reggie]

27. Brett Lee

 

[happy_eagle]

A lot of people forget about this guy, but he is a very tight bowler and at times one of the worlds best in the short game

28. Nathan Bracken

Probably would have lasted longer, but pace bowlers are scarce

 

[Phone]

26. Shakib al Hasan

oh goddamn it

 

[fightingfury_88]

Pick 29 - David Hussey (Vic)
Master batsman at this form of the game. Quick between the wickets, can hit the ball hard and bowls tight off-spin if required.

 

[happy_eagle]

Dam you, hussey is probably my favourite player, and i was hoping he would slide

 

[Phone]

well i was gonna take Shakib al Hasan but...

Kieron Pollard will be my last international. As much for his bowling as his batting. And I'll take Steve Smith too.

Pick 30 - Kieron Pollard
Pick 31 - Steve Smith

 

[fightingfury_88]

Pick 32 - Brad Haddin (NSW)
He may not be the most popular wicketkeeper in Australian cricket but right now he is the most dangerous. Can be explosive with the bat and is solid with the gloves.

Anyway, after a quick rethink, i might finalise by bowling lineup with
Pick 33 - Doug Bollinger
