O'Brien played in the 2010 season which is as recent as any other English domestic player. He'll be fine.
Haha. He doesn't rate my team despite having half a dozen Yarpies. Albie Morkel, Heino Kuhn, Zander de Bruyn, Stiaan van Zyl, Dale Benkenstein and Friedel de Wet.
I'd say..... Beers: Good, hasn't got a lot of bowling though. Claymores: See above, change bowling for batting however. Hurricanes: Has some stars but the lineup is very hit & miss/past it. Redwood Phoenix: Great batting, bowling's a bit of an issue however. Porposies: OK, but it seems to have too many backup players. Do rate it a bit though. Rebels: Has a few stars but is otherwise pretty meh. Lighthouses: Like the side but it seems too injury prone (particularly the seam bowling) Rusty's XI: Doesn't inspire me but has a few good players. Reminds me a bit like the British Boozers tbh. Panthers: Looks good, but not amazing. Hornets: Don't rate this side at all, better than what I expected for Verigoat however. Mousekeeters: Really pretty poor, expected better from Mousey. Tunza: What I expected from Boob tbh - a bunch of good bats with past-it/over-rated bowlers. Except the batsman are past it this time too. Aftershocks: Great batting, ordinary bowling. Much will depend on the tosses. Avengers: Like it but it seems a bit meh. Crawlers: Much stronger this time around. Titans: Feel Shri's relying too much on inflated FC figures and past exploits. Don't really see it performing. Prycers: Might lack an X-factor (except for Jimmeh) but is still pretty gun. Phelgm's XI: Hard to rate - bowling's either injury-prone or unproven, batting seems a bit ordinary. Still, it wasn't complete when the thread was created.... Sticky Wicket: Rate it - great batting and Steyn will get a ton of wickets. Looking much better than last year. Carvers: I like it, but reckon my bowling still looks a bit odd. Bruno Lawrence: Seems itstl - has a lot of good players but lacks that extra something. El Damo: Brought some real shockers but isn't too bad I guess.
