Team 12Oz
1-Sanath Jayasuriya - 13,000+ @ 32.4 avg, 91.2 S/R
2-Sourav Ganguly (C) - 11,000+ @ 41, 73.7
3-Kane Williamson - 5000+ @ 45.9, 82.6
4-Ross Taylor - 8000+ @ 48.4, 83.4
5-Allan Lamb - 39.3, 75.7
6-Ben Stokes - 36.6, 93.8
7-Dwayne Bravo - 25.4, 82.3
8-Yusuf Pathan - 27, 113.6
9-Ian Healy (Wk) - 21, 83.8, 194 catches, 39 stumpings
10-Craig McDermott - 7.1, 87.8
11-Zaheer Khan - 12, 73.5

Batting

-Superb, experienced openers who will score big runs at a fair lick

-Top-level 3 and 4, and a fine 5, who will build on the platform set by Dada and Jaya

-Accomplished lower-middle. Stokes and Bravo can add big runs quickly while Pathan will be going for the rope from the off. Heals will ably abet whoever he joins at the crease and if required can nurse our short tail, both of whom can bat

-Pathan could be deployed as high as 6 if the run rate needs a boost

Bowling

-Zaheer Khan - 282 wkts @ 29.4 per, 35.80 S/R
-Craig McDermott - 203 @ 24.7, 36.8
-Dwayne Bravo - 199 @ 29.5, 32.7
-Ben Stokes - 63 @ 40.7, 39.8
-Sourav Ganguly - 100 @ 38.5, 45.6
-Sanath Jayasuriya - 323 @ 36.8, 46

Zaheer and McDermott will open the bowling, Bravo will bowl at the death while Dada will take a few middle overs, probably from Stokes and Bravo who tend to be more expensive

Tough call. None of the bowling unit fully complete. Ounce has 2 proper bowlers then 5 all rounders or batsmen who can bowl. His top 4 is best out if lot though. @Moby does BM have some pedigree batting at 3? Dont recall him at that position.

I can't deny it. I struggled to get top class bowlers in so had to compromise with all-rounders as I didn't want a couple of average bowlers who couldn't bat at all. I think that unit will be good enough to defend a good score, which I'm hoping my first class top order and deep batting will get, but yeah my bowling isn't the best.

You only think mine are, but I actually don't have any :lol: I went modest with most of my picks and that's left me underpowered in the bowling dept.

All I can say is I really like McDermott, I think injuries have left him underrated in many eyes and Zaheer is a fine seamer who has done the business at a few big tournaments. Dwayne as a third seamer isn't the strongest but he's ok, I particularly like his temperament at the death, and Stokes hasn't shown his best bowling in ODIs but is a good bowler in my view. Jaya will hold an end up nicely, and has been there and done it all over the world, and Ganguly is a very decent sixth choice with a wealth of experience on a range of tracks.

Be gentle...

12Ounce looks to be the strongest of the three next comes Moby,only weakness in Mobys team is no spinners otherwise it look like a good side,Indnyc your batting’s line up is good but with two sheeps you would struggle,Dharmasena on spin friendly wickets can come in handy,unlucky to get Kuruvilla as sheep.
