They're running a CWPL draft over there, and this team got selected: Chris Rogers Jacques Rudolph Martin van Jaarsveld Michael Hussey Owais Shah Andrew McDonald James Foster Ryan Sidebottom Dale Steyn Shoaib Akhtar Muttiah Muralitharan --------------------------- Shane Warne Kabir Ali Now there are less teams there so it's easier to recruit a gun team (it's more like CPL1 actually) but FMD that's an awesome team. Better than any picked here by a fair margin, IMO. Discuss.
How many sides were their exactly? Pretty good side though, yes. What were some of the other sides like? Next best 3 teams?
Well, they are the worst two players in the side (although Foster was gun in CPL1 iirc). But to get all the other blokes he picked.. FMD.
His first two picks were Steyn and Murali. He actually didn't pick Foster and Shah until picks 12 and 13, so after they'd picked eleven players he had Warne batting 6 - he really focused on bowling depth which was odd.
You can tell that kinda, I mean you know he focused on his bowling more so than his batting. His batting isnt overly strong.
