    I think Razzaq, Pathan and Benkestein should have been picked.

    If I wasn't sorted for all rounders I would have considered Dwayne Smith for a round 18 pick up as well.

    I'm surprised more people didn't opt for some of these remaining all rounders in the last one or two rounds for simply some stop gap injury/squad cover.

    Wasn't much left though it should be said.

    Does Benkenstein still bowl regularly though?

    Another: Sanju Samson.

    Very young, seen as the long-term replacement for Dhoni and has a solid record thus far.

    A lot of the old guys I'm surprised no-one took a punt on (Gilchrist, Warne, etc.)

    I thought Harmison got picked really early?

    Abbott's another one. Has taken most of his wickets this season (where the pitches have been flatter), can bat and is young.

    Definitely, definitely not.

    Thought Chris Nevin might get picked up (by Julian).

    Scott Kuggeleijn might have been picked as a batting all-rounder by some stats whore.

    I'm very surprised no-one picked Raymond Price.

    Zimbabwean (so hard to quantify how good he is) + retirement probably factored into it.

    Though given Querl, Chatara and Meth were picked...

    reckon you could almost make an XI by country

    NZ

    Jamie How
    Jeet Raval
    Neil Broom
    Daryl Mitchell
    Luke Woodcock
    Sam Wells
    Derek de Boorder (c) (wk)
    Todd Astle
    Ian Butler/Ben Wheeler/Hamish Bennett
    Mark Gillespie
    Brent Arnel

    Grant Elliott is filthy ftr. He's been saving his arse with once in a blue moon performances for years. Lucky he plays for Wellington who love allrounders. Wells and KNB are both >>>> Elliott.

    If I got bored, I was going to pick Gazza.

    And there's no way in hell KNB should be in the NZ team. Sam Wells and Grant Elliott are both better than him, though I do agree with your point that Elliott seems to pull a performance out of his arse with alarming irregularity.
