Alex, my #10 has a ton too. -.-

[8-6 Suited]

Yeah, you have several fantastic players... But I know which one I would take hawka. :P

[Hawka]

haha nice work shaggy personally i reckon our teams are very hard to separate

[8-6 Suited]

I think they are both good teams but my bowling dominates yours, while we both have different batting set ups. Mine is more defensive, can force draws easily when things aren't going great or dominate the scoreboard whereas yours is a lot more aggressive, will obliterate most opponents in a battings innings if things go their way.

2 different batting styles but the bowling is where it is separated.

[Hawka]

but all my bowlers on thee day can deystory a attack kumble has 10 wickets in a innings mcgrath has a few 8 fors so does johnno

[8-6 Suited]

Yeah and they are your 2 best bowlers... Kumble and McGrath. Johnson is still only a good bowler but not a great one. He doesn't have much of an impact. Kumble is gthe 2nd best leg spinner in history. Nothing will change that and McGrath is probably the best seam bowler. He is for sure the best as far as the rules went for this competition.

Lets look at it this way:

Competition   Tests   ODIs   FC   List A
Flintoff: Wickets   226   169   350   289
Johnson: Wickets   175   129   272   159
Kumble: Wickets   619   337   1,136   514
Khan: Wickets   250   241   561   312
McGrath: Wickets   563   381   835   463

Totals
Test: 1833
ODI: 1284


Ganguly: Wickets   32   100   164   168
Pollock: Wickets   421   393   667   573
Warne: Wickets   708   293   1,319   473
Razzaq: Wickets   100   259   14
Vaas: Wickets   355   400   683   479
Ntini: Wickets   390   266   624   340

Totals
Test: 2006
ODI: 1711



Who picks up more wickets? ;)

[8-6 Suited]

While I was at it, I worked out the batting totals from both teams for Test/ODI.

Team 5:

55,348 Test runs
43,968 ODI runs

Team 4

58,131 Test runs
63,034 ODI runs


Massive difference in ODI. Absolutely massive. So you can have your 3 gun batsmen, Team 4 showers all over them.

[8-6 Suited]

Now that I have proven without a shadow of a doubt who the better team is, anyone wish to change their vote yet?

[Justin Bieber]

I'm guessing you're team 4 Shaggy? :P.

[8-6 Suited]

Oh yeah, I am Team 4 lol

[Boomz]

lol I already voted team 4 :P

[8-6 Suited]

The point I am trying to make is people have voted based on 5-6 players from Team 5, instead the whole team of Team 4 which is the purpose of the draft. Its to make the best all-round team possible and while Team5/hawka has made a nice team, it quite clearly by the statistics isn't the best possible.
