1. :sri: :ar: Sanath Jayasuriya
2-3. :ind: :bat: Virat Kohli
4. :ind: :bat: Rohan Gavaskar not sure if he batted there but also can't move Kruger or Bevan to my knowledge
5. :hkg: :bat: Courtney Kruger
6. :aus: :ar: Michael Bevan
7. :pak: :wk: Adnan Akmal
8-9?. :sri: :bwl: Chaminda Vaas
10-11?. :ken: :bwl: Josephat Ababu

I'll leave one batting slot because I don't want to deal with having three specialist bowlers. Now, I think everyone else has missed a trick here. Saqlain Mushtaq is statistically the best spinner of all time, averaging just 21.8 over 170 matches. He comes in although at which point in my tail I'm not sure.

Lottery? The man who's second on my previous list, Naimur Rahman . I guess he can bat a bit?

Oh damn, forgot about this.

1. David Obuya
2. Shivnarine Chanderpaul
3.
4.
5. Scott Styris
6. Sanwar Hossain
7. Lance Klusener
8. Aijaz Ali
9.
10. Curtly Ambrose
11. Dwayne Leverock

I'm sure someone has taken Shaun Pollock already. But I'm not worried, I still have Heath Streak, a vastly underrated bowler who could also give the ball a decent whack on his day. After the travesty that is Aijaz Ali at 8, my team is going to need quick runs at the end and him, Klusener and (possibly) Ambrose will give me that.

Berend Westdijk into the lottery.

LOTTERY FIVE

@Aislabie - :ban: :ar: Khaled Mahmud
Just what I needed - another Mluleki Nkala.

@ddrap14 - :ban: :ar: Naimur Rahman
At a push, someone who can be used as an adequate firefighter/stock bowler. But barely adequate.

@CerealKiller - :nam: :ar: Gerrie Snyman
His ODI stats are dreadful, but this is still a great result from for your team.

@Parth D - :ned: :bwl: Berend Westdijk
I hope you like straight-up-and-down medium pace.

@qpeedore - :pak: :bwl: Yasir Shah
Honestly, for such a good bowler, Yasir's ODI stats are awful. But he's still a good bowler.

@El Loco - :ind: :bat: Cheteshwar Pujara
Che Pujara's five ODIs were dreadful, but in List A cricket he boasts an average of 54 - an excellent anchor type player.

@CerealKiller - you're up to complete your team and nominate a 12th man for the lottery (which will be a strictly fielder/drinks waiter type role)

That looks good; I'd probably still open with Rohit, and put Brijal at three (because I don't think there's anyone else to go there) but otherwise that looks a good side. Squeezing ten overs out of Brijal, Snyman, Butler and Mbangwa shouldn't be a huge problem
