393 wickets @ 24.50 S/R 39.9 E/R 3.67. One of the modern great bowlers

146 runs @8.11 S/R 69.85 Tailender
162 wickers @ 24.21 S/R 31.3 E/R 4.62 Brilliant spinner
Why I win Games:
1. Honestly, this is a sheep draft but i have maybe 1 player (Broad) that doesn't come up in all time ODI draft.
2. Brilliant Bowling - Waqar, Pollock, Kapil, Tahir are brilliant while Broad provides good support
3. Aggressive Batsmen, with a strong middle - I have stroke makers and a grafter (Misbah) in case of trouble
Overall, it's just a well rounded team with many match winners (Amla, Faf, De Kock, Pieterson, Kapil with the bat and Waqar, Tahir, Kapil and Pollock with the ball)

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 can add big runs quickly and, as he showed at Trent Bridge the other day, has the maturity to hang in for a big score when his team are in a spot of trouble. Afridi will be going for the rope from the off, while Heals will ably abet whoever he joins at the crease and if required can nurse our tail, two of whom can bat
-Afridi could be deployed higher if the run rate needs a boost. He’s here as a finisher but is of course comfortable higher in the order

-Sanath Jayasuriya - 323 @ 36.8, 46
Zaheer and McDermott will open the bowling, Malinga is first change and will bowl at the death. Afridi and Jayasuriya will bowl plenty of overs while Stokes and Dada will share the rest
