Pretty surprised that the #12 and #13 picks were bowling allrounders given firstly the balance of the side and secondly the quality of the batsmen you picked up versus the quality of the bowlers you snagged. I think you'll be dipping into your batting reserves quicker than your bowling reserves.
Averages something ridiculous like 50ish since 2010 when I looked him up on cricket archive. Picked him as a genuine AR to bat 7.
Looking forward to the next round of picks in which you select Australian-born Irish domestic star Nick Larkin.
"Can't make the Ireland team, unlikely to be picked up in CPL" is generally a good rule to follow. Yeah to be fair, Larkin has just been called up by NSW in the Futures League; if he tons up someone might actually notice and pick him now. Healthy average of 250-something in Irish domestic cricket last season.

Permaul added. 111W@24 since 2010/11. Stats don't look great for a WI spinner but when you break it down he's averaged 64W@19 domestically and backed that up with 47W@32 in A-team matches and Tests. Decent pick for Round 17 IMO.
