I didn't realise this guy had such an impressive record. Daniel Solway to shore up my middle order with a FC batting average of 48! Granted, he's only 10 games into his career, but slim pickings to be had at this stage.

2. Usman Khawaja
3. Shaun Marsh

corbies when I saw the mad react I assumed it was going to be for the underhanded Lynn selection haha. Do you rate Solway?
I was banking on the perennial underrating of NSWman on this board to get him with my last pick. He has played some classy knocks in his short career so far and has a great record in Sydney Test Cricket.
 
eth-dog given Chris Lynn has not retired from FC cricket (to my knowledge anyway), is he eligible to be taken? As there are only sh*t lords left I'd rather take a bloke who can actually bat and averages mid 40s in the whites.
I'm going to say he's ineligible as he's been retired from FC cricket I believe for a few years now.
 
I had my eyes on another player here, but I think selecting Nick Larkin brings a greater deal of balance to a shifted batting order. Moving Wade to 3 and Philippe into the middle order makes it look a lot stronger to me. The opening options left aren't great and he's averaging 50 this year.

Kelly is a good get this late. I would have taken him had I not really wanted a left armer.
I was considering getting a left armer too but I'd rather Kelly play over the sake of variety.

Pick 66: * IDK Hilton Cartwright I guess? Has been bad for 3 seasons now but did play test cricket and still averages 37 at Shield level even given his recent form. Is only 28 so has time to rekindle his early career form. Can also bowl some handy mediums and is a very good fielder.

Pick 67: Jack Wildermuth - I did have a much funnier 12th man option ready to go but Wildermuth will compete with Cartwright for the no.6 spot depending on conditions. Often takes the new ball for QLD and bats in the top 6.

Aussie_boy Good luck with your final pick.

As a Western Australian, I'm happy with the four-pronged pace attack, and Agar as a decent-enough spinner and handy number six batter. But if this imaginary game takes place on a spinning wicket, I want to be able to bring in a second spinner - Beau Webster

Went with the young but talented leggie as an option to change the attack. Carbine Chaos
 
While he’s on a horror run this guy is probably the best option left, and really could get a run in a few XIs on here - Ashton Turner.

So we might as well do something with this, can everyone send me a 1-5 of every other side via PM? If you haven't already, please list your full team and 12th man on this page for the other teams to rank. Lowest score wins.
