Sorry for holding you up guys, was down watching the epic game between SL and India. Only just arrived home now.

Anyways, I was looking for someone who had a lot of potential and put bums on seats(apparently), could smack it around a bit when on but mainly I want him to do **** all 6 innings out of 7. Also I am informed 9 will be covering our tournament so I want to be praised constantly and excuses made by Mr Slater. Therefore my next pick is....

David Warner.



Nah just kidding saintkildaman, he's all yours. With my next pick I will fill up my middle order with Shivnarine Chanderpaul. A solid batsman, who with Waugh can rescue a poor start or manage a chase. http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/51469.html

Aravinda de silva is a great pick up this late, a steal.

I would not use him as a number 6 as he hardly played there he was more a top order player. He would compliment your top 3 beautifully at 4.

Chanderpaul also a good selection.

Scratching my head a bit with the Chatfield & Warner selections, trigger pulled too early, high chance they would have been still available in the 13th & 14th rounds.

Okay to help fill my middle order I pick Javed Miandad from Pakistan. Cricinfo describes him as "the greatest batsman Pakistan has ever produced." Is one of the only batsmen of his era to average over 40 in ODI cricket and while his strike rate may seem slow by today's standards it was perfectly adequate in the era he played. He was also a brilliant fieldsman and Pakistan's youngest ever captain.

Deliberated a little bit, but decided on

Darren Gough

26 avg, 4.3 economy rate, 36 strike rate
Took 4 wickets or more 12 times in his ODI career
http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/13411.html

Very close to selecting Srinath or Bracken
Also moving de Silva up to 5 (where he played alot of cricket), Sangakkara up to 4 (likewise)
