Test teams based on when they were picked in CPL

I wanted a break from coding but also wanted to keep my mind in a fresh CPL focused state so I'm gonna waste time and do these.

I'm going to allow myself a little latitude to maintain reasonably balanced sides.

 

Australia

1 Warner
2 Burns
3 Labuschange
4 Smith
5 Head
6 Wade+
7 Pattinson
8 Cummins
9 Starc
10 Lyon
11 Hazlewood

(Siddle, O'Keefe, Khawaja, Bird, Richardson, Patterson all picked before Wade but needed someone resembling a keeper)

 

England

1 Cook
2 Burns
3 Root
4 Pope
5 Stokes
6 Bairstow
7 Woakes
8 Moeen
9 Broad
10 Leach
11 Anderson

Archer picked like 6th or something but five seamers is illegal

 

India

1 Rohit
2 Agarwal
3 Pujara
4 Kohli
5 Rahane
6 Jadeja
7 Pant
8 Ashwin
9 Ishant
10 Shami
11 Bumrah

Bhuvi and Umesh picked a few picks before and Agarwal but too many bowlers and needed a keeper

 

NZ

1 Latham
2 Young
3 Williamson
4 Taylor
5 Nicholls
6 Watling
7 de Grandhomme
8 Southee
9 Patel
10 Wagner
11 Boult

Lockie picked before Jeets and Young
Conway also picked before Young but not eligible yet

 

South Africa

1 Elgar
2 Markram
3 Hamza
4 de Villiers
5 du Plessis
6 de Kock+
7 Philander
8 Maharaj
9 Steyn
10 Rabada
11 Ngidi

 

West Indies

1 Brathwaite
2 Hope
3 Bravo
4 Chanderpaul
5 Chase
6 Holder
7 Dowrich+
8 Miller
9 Roach
10 Joseph
11 Gabriel

 

Bangladesh

1 Tamim
2 Shadman
3 Mominul
4 Mushfiqur+
5 Shakib
6 Mahmudullah
7 Mosaddek
8 Liton
9 Mehidy
10 Taijul
11 Mustafizur

lol what a team

 

Pakistan

1 Azhar
2 Abid
3 Babar
4 Haris
5 Fawad
6 Shafiq
7 Rizwan+
8 Yasir
9 Amir
10 Abbas
11 Afridi

Keeper not picked until Round 9, probably a few players picked before then (Masood was the first)

 

Sri Lanka

1 Karunaratne
2 Dhananjaya
3 Sanga
4 Mendis
5 Mathews
6 Chandimal
7 Dickwella+
8 Dilruwan
9 Herath
10 Lakmal
11 Malinga

A bunch of players picked before Malinga but given they had two quicks picked I figured I'd stick him in. Alternatively, DDS goes down to 8 and Oshada Fernando opens.

 

Assorted Others

1 Shahzad+
2
3
4 B Taylor
5 RtD
6 Nabi
7 Rashid
8 Frylinck
9 Jarvis
10 Qais
11 Murtagh

Needs more associate bats. Get on it Heath.

 

Oh true I missed that one. Edited.

 

I doubt we'll be able to complete a full currently-eligible-for-Zimbabwe team but I do have hopes for this one:

Born/Schooled in Zimbabwe XI

1
2
3
4 B Taylor
5 Ballance
6 de Grandhomme
7 Higgins as a specialist batsman because five seamers is illegal
8 S Curran
9 T Curran
10
11 Jarvis
