Leading wicket taker in the best domestic competition in the world, Brett Dorey, and...err...slightly above average batsman, Michael Carberry have joined the squad.
This pick will cop as much stick as the signing of Prior IMO He was averaging <40 untill this season lol.
Don't care, he's gunned it. It was said at the very start of this, you should pick players based on how you think they'd go now. Still, it is a dubious one, given that there are better alternatives still out there
So if say Nova gunned next season and Averaged 50 with the bat and 25 with the ball youd pick him in your team? Even so. Trott> Carberry this season
Carberry is > Trott in every respect. He's gunned it this season and he's a significantly better fielder, even if that has no input on the sim.
LOL I'm ****ed then. Lehmann, Jaques, Jaffer, Akhtar, Bollinger. Not terrible fielders but far from athletic.
Kaneira's bowling average is poor ITBT, isn't it? I'm talking for Tests btw, thought he was meant to be an absolute demon!?
Tahir and van der Wath have been added...took them after a bit of a rush of blood...kind of forgot that I didn't have room for either in my first XI. Major dilemmas now...Tahir or Kaneria? VDW or Dorey?...
Sorry, I can't confirm that. The more I think about it, the more I'm actually reasonably pleased with Vijay's selection at this point. If the Indian selectors rate him above Jaffer, that's good enough for me.
