Dismissal to Australians specialist KS Bharat comes into Yash's team. Underwhelming, but at least he ticks off keeper.

Frank Tyson walks into Mohsin's team... except for the fact that, with two bunny rounds to go and only one tail spot, Mohsin strengthened his batting with Johnny Tyldesley instead.

I would be keen to see CK Nayudu play against Supreme and Vizzy. That'd be a war.

@Supreme General

Kyle Coetzer was Supreme's pick, which means that all three of Scotland's best ever cricketers have gone in this draft. Weird.

A lot of good batsmen available here. Hansie Cronje might have the edge in this particular draft, given his capable bowling, but Martin Crowe is not a bad pick in any way, shape or form.

Ravi Shastri comes in as a bits and pieces all rounder. He does two things; neither are brilliant but you need them when you've got Reynold Aravinda on your team.

Tatenda Taibu was CK's pick. He bats 4 and keeps. This is the first ever draft with two Zimbabwean keeper-batsmen on the same team, btw.

This Maharaja has the same skills and glasses as Vizzy. He does have two positives Vizzy didn't though; hair, and humility (he ceded leadership of the 1932 team to CK Nayudu).

I'm not sure if the nominator was going off Dala's sole ODI, but aside from that he's been a very competent domestic cricketer. And some teams would love him.

Hasitha Perera

I'm almost certain this lady isn't the Hasitha Perera we're mentioning... but it was what Google showed me when I searched it. The actual Hasitha was a bad batsman for two Sri Lankan clubs.

Just check the squads on the first page to see who you get. What a spoiler
I accidentally hit save on the first three. It shouldn't do that anymore

I'm fully aware this is a meme nomination. But a competent keeper-batsman might bail someone out big time.

Tage is still developing, but he's pretty clearly going to be a Windies opener for a long time if his fundamentals are anything to go by. Another good outcome.

For a second I thought this was another meme nomination - the 14yo Test batsman - but then I figured out this was the spinner. The one that took, uh... am I allowed to say it on this forum? Let's say it sounds similar to a famous soda brand.

An actually competent player… what on earth?
