Cricket World Cup Draft

[Carbine Chaos]

THE HAIR BLAIR BUNCH

1. Chris Gayle
2. Martin Guptill
3. Sean Williams
4. AB de Villiers (+) (c)
5. Eoin Morgan
6. Kevin O'Brien
7. Glenn Maxwell
8. Shahid Afridi
9. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
10. Ryan Harris
11. Lasith Malinga

12. James Taylor
13. Dinesh Karthik (+)
14. Mashrafe Mortaza
15. Sulieman Benn

Honestly can't decide whether to start Williams or Taylor at 3. Williams maybe just getting the nod because his slow left arm spinners are pretty handy and very economical. Not that they are a necessity given 10 out of my starting 11 can bowl. Mortaza could easily slot in for Bhuv Kumar given he has a good ODI record. Also good to note that 5 of my starting XI have been successful captains for their ODI teams, and Mortaza on the bench makes it 6.
