Round 10

1679307408801.png
Adam Zampa is a properly weird unit, and he surprisingly slots in at number six. As the previous posts will demonstrate, it could be worse.

Round 11
1679307487965.png
1679307579224.png
And even in this draft, Ashton Agar can't escape the shadow of his spinning partner. He will open the batting with Adam Gilchrist.

1. :aus: :wk: Adam Gilchrist (R4)
2. :aus: :ar: Ashton Agar (R11)
3. :eng: :bat: James Taylor (R7)
4. :uae: :bat: Rameez Shahzad (R3)
5. :wi: :bat: Shiv Chanderpaul (R9)
6. :aus: :bwl: Adam Zampa (R10)
7. :nam: :ar: Jan Frylinck (R6)
8. :zim: :ar: Tendai Chisoro (R8)
9. :aus: :bwl: Paul Reiffel (R2)
10. :ind: :bwl: Zaheer Khan (R1)
11. :aus: :bwl: Nathan Bracken (R5)

Round 10

Look at Mr Fancy Pants over here getting a player who he can put in the correct place in his team. Asad Shafiq will bat at six.

Round 11
1679307917686.png
1679307960374.png
And despite only one very anonymous ODI appearance, Shahidullah Mandozai is an excellent result for a Round 11 pick, and possibly the best number 11 batter of all time.

1. :sco: :bat: George Munsey (R9)
2. :eng: :wkb: Phil Salt (R2)
3. :nzf: :bat: Stephen Fleming (R7)
4. :saf: :ar: Jacques Kallis (R1)
5. :nzf: :bat: Peter Fulton (R8)
6. :pak: :bat: Asad Shafiq (R10)
7. :ban: :wk: Jahurul Islam (R5)
8. :saf: :bwl: Lonwabo Tsotsobe (R6)
9. :ban: :ar: Manjural Islam Rana (R4)
10. :aus: :bwl: Ashley Mallett (R3)
11. :afg: :ar: Shahidullah Mandozai (R11)

Round 10

The GOAT himself will bat at number four - arguably his best position.

Round 11
1679308313123.png
1679308337229.png
And to finish off, Ramesh Mendis actually gets to bat in about the right place.

1. :aus: :bat: Usman Khawaja (R3)
2. :ind: :wk: Parthiv Patel (R4)
3. :ind: :wkb: Rahul Dravid (R1)
4. :pak: :wk: Kamran Akmal (R10)
5. :pak: :ar: Mudassar Nazar (R9)
6. :wi: :bat: Lendl Simmons (R8)
7. :sri: :ar: Ramesh Mendis (R11)
8. :aus: :ar: Brad Hogg (R5)
9. :aus: :bwl: Greg Campbell (R7)
10. :ban: :bwl: Shafiuddin Ahmed (R6)
11. :wi: :bwl: Winston Davis (R2)

This is, incredibly, a really good and well-constructed team. Huge congratulations.

Round 10

Rick McCosker misses out again, but it makes sense - Mitchell McCleneghan was someone who just got better and better the higher the level he was asked to play.

Round 11
1679308865829.png
1679308884481.png
And the last player here is a legend of Cricket Captain games, Vengugopal Rao. He even gets to bat in pretty much the right place.

1. :aus: :bat: Aaron Finch (R1)
2. :nzf: :wk: Brendon McCullum (R9)
3. :eng: :bat: Allan Lamb (R5)
4. :saf: :bat: Rassie van der Dussen (R3)
5. :aus: :ar: Glenn Maxwell (R2)
6. :ind: :bat: Vengugopal Rao (R11)
7. :nzf: :ar: Jimmy Neesham (R7)
8. :nzf: :ar: Dion Nash (R8)
9. :ban: :bwl: Abdur Razzak (R4)
10. :nzf: :bwl: Mitchell McCleneghan (R10)
11. :sri: :bwl: Sujeewa de Silva (R6)

There's a slight lack of silliness in this team. It's competent from top to tail, and that is frankly very strange.

Shahid is at number 11 in Umair's team, which is the whole point of the observation.

Also I currently have 30 notifications since I started posting these, which is bonkers.
Oh, I failed to notice. Oops

Round 10

1679309332690.png
Moeen Ali will slot in at number four in VC's team; he's another one in the Azhar Mahmood camp where one thinks of him as much better than his stats look.

Round 11
1679309423182.png
1679309456837.png
Leon Johnson passed the eye test better than most new batters the West Indies tried around this time, but his only ODI fifty took him 77 balls against 2008-spec Canada.

1. :sri: :bat: Upul Tharanga (R5)
2. :ind: :ar: Sourav Ganguly (R1)
3. :ire: :bat: Ed Joyce (R4)
4. :eng: :ar: Moeen Ali (R10)
5. :aus: :bat: Paul Sheahan (R7)
6. :ind: :ar: Abhishek Nayar (R8)
7. :nzf: :wk: Ken Wadsworth (R6)
8. :wi: :ar: Romario Shepherd (R2)
9. :wi: :bat: Leon Johnson (R11)
10. :wi: :bwl: Wayne Daniel (R9)
11. :saf: :bwl: Morne Morkel (R3)

Round 10

1679309738285.png
1679309764723.png
Cricket's most ambidextrous all-rounder, Kamindu Mendis slots in at number five.

Round 11
1679309854854.png
1679309899631.png
Samiullah Khan was a prolific domestic seamer who didn't make the most of his opportunities for Pakistan. Notably not a batter at all.

1. :sri: :bat: Pathum Nissanka (R7)
2. :aus: :ar: Greg Chappell (R5)
3. :ire: :bat: Andy Balbirnie (R3)
4. :nam: :ar: Gerrie Erasmus (R4)
5. :sri: :ar: Kamindu Mendis (R10)
6. :ind: :wk: Rishabh Pant (R1)
7. :pak: :bwl: Samiullah Khan (R11)
8. :wi: :ar: Raymon Reifer (R8)
9. :aus: :bwl: Len Pascoe (R9)
10. :ind: :bwl: Javagal Srinath (R6)
11. :ind: :bwl: Ishant Sharma (R2)

Official Major League Cricketer Corey Anderson fits in nicely at number six, adding both big hitting and decent left-arm seam bowling.

Round 11
1679310327190.png
1679310355155.png
And despite being a little out of position at number seven, Ashwell Prince certainly strengthens this team.

1. :eng: :bat: Graham Gooch (R7)
2. :ire: :bat: Paul Stirling (R5)
3. :ban: :wk: Liton Das (R9)
4. :ken: :ar: Steve Tikolo (R6)
5. :nzf: :ar: Grant Elliott (R4)
6. :nzf: :ar: Corey Anderson (R10)
7. :saf: :bat: Ashwell Prince (R11)
8. :eng: :ar: Sam Curran (R1)
9. :nzf: :bwl: Tim Southee (R3)
10. :saf: :bwl: Andre Nel (R2)
11. :pak: :bwl: Abdul Qadir (R8)
