roo boys!

I think Shaggy will pull out the stats again if he doesn't win.. :-X

But CF's top order is really good, MTTY has great bowlers, Warne and O'Reilly for pyro :-\, hawka has a very nicely balanced team... ARGH it's so hard!

RB, think Alex deliberately left out the names so we wouldn't have any bias :)

Assuming we can't vote yet cos the teams aren't done!

They were in there before!

Team 1, without seeing teams 9 and 10, seems the best. Great mix of old and modern, with a stronger emphasis on modern.

Perhaps a little light on batting, but does have a long-tail. But I like the bowling balance. Except two spinners in Murali and Benaud might not be beneficial on some grounds.

See if teams 9 and 10 can beat it! But team 1 for me so far.

Don't know what Team 4 was smoking when they picked Lehmann, let along picking him as VC ahead of Pollock, Hammond, Kallis and Jayasuriya!
