If long term form (over at least two seasons) comes into it I could have a real shot IMO. Doug Bollinger, Brad Haddin, Rangana Herath, Shahid Afridi and even the likes of Tuffey and Jaques to an extent have been really, really good over their last few seasons of FC cricket. Even my retirees Lehmann and mcMillan bowed out on top tbh.
I think it will. I don't think people who've had one off, flash in the pan awesome seasons will be that great, but the guys you mentioned should go pretty well.
Yeah. This is where I think that I might have an advantage. My squad would have to be one of the more youthful in the comp.
Hayden went out down on confidence. Gilchrist could have kept playing but wasn't in the best form. Lara was in decent enough form and MacGill retired due to injury, not lack of form.
My team going on their last two seasons: 1. Rogers Aus 07/08: 40.15 Eng 08: 57.16 Aus 08/09: 74.68 End 09: 53.25 2.
