Team V.o.

Lineup
1. Martin Guptill
2. Jonny Bairstow (wk)
3. Jacques Kallis
4. Ramnaresh Sarwan
5. Jonty Rhodes
6. Imran Khan (c)
7. Richard Hadlee
8. Upul Chandana
9. Jason Gillespie
10. Sulieman Benn
11. Saqlain Mushtaq

Batting

• Guptill is capable of some extremely heavy hitting, being barely outside the top 10 for all time 6s hit while having played little over half as many games as anybody above him. He also has the second highest knock in ODI history to his name with a huge 237 not out. A big component of New Zealand's strength in the format over the last decade.
• Opening alongside him, Bairstow is an even quicker scorer of big runs. He's the only player drafted to maintain a career average of over 45 while hitting at better than a run-a-ball, and the only one outright apart from the arguable best ever in the format, AB de Villiers.
• With rock solid technique and ice cool temperament, probably the best all-round cricketer of his generation Jacques Kallis will be the glue holding the innings together after the initial fireworks have gone off.
• While overshadowed in reputational terms by longtime teammate Brian Lara, Ramnaresh Sarwan is right up there with him as a batsman in ODIs. He actually managed a better overall average than Lara in the format, and when batting in the #4 spot, this shoots up to an absolutely elite figure of 54.22 - and not from a small sample size, either. He batted there in 55 ODIs.
• An incredible athlete and wristy batsman who scored his runs at an excellent rate for his era, Jonty Rhodes is pretty much the prototype of the modern cricketer.
• Despite being known mainly for his bowling, Imran Khan is a true all-rounder with a record most outright lower middle order batsmen would be envious of. Hadlee and Chandana to a lesser degree are well capable of chipping in with good runs as low as #8.
• Despite having a sheep in the lineup, my batting isn't really weakened at all thanks to being covered by having three of the greatest all-rounders ever. Everyone is batting in positions natural to them. Benn is effectively in as a specialist batsman at #10.

Bowling

• One of the true all-time great quicks, Richard Hadlee opens the bowling. With very good wicket taking ability and an incredible economy rate even for the era, Hadlee weighs in as the #2 bowler in the all-time ICC ODI player rankings behind only Windies legend Joel Garner.
• Probably the greatest cricketer to ever represent Pakistan, Imran Khan opens from the other end, providing searing pace, leadership and will to win in equal measure. This opening pair are capable of strangling almost any batting lineup.
• With an incredible wicket taking ability that saw him rack up a comfortably better average and strike rate than either Warne or Murali (he took wickets around 20% more often than either!), Saqlain Mushtaq has a very good claim to being the greatest ODI spinner of all time, with only his relative lack of longevity counting against him. On a track that's spinning, Saqlain wreaks havoc.
• First change seamer Jason Gillespie offers more wicket taking threat in the middle overs while maintaining a solid economy rate.
• The RFM of Jacques Kallis and leg spin of Upul Chandana provide very capable options to split the remaining overs, with Kallis being given more overs on a green top and Chandana taking the lead on a turning pitch.
• Again, I think the sheep in the lineup is covered by the strength of my all-rounders. I have six bowlers with more than enough quality to be given 10 overs each if it was needed without him.

Fielding and captaincy

• While very strong in the primary disciplines, this is where I think my team stands above any other drafted.
• Spearheaded by the greatest fielder in cricket history, Jonty Rhodes, with support from other excellent fielders, Chandana and Guptill, and the ever-reliable bucket hands of Kallis at slip, this is surely the best fielding unit in the draft and will combine with an already very economical bowling attack to stifle the batsmen.
• Any communication error or dodgy running between the wickets will be swiftly punished and one or two miracle catches are almost guaranteed.
• Captain Imran Khan has a 75-59 ODI record in an era of relative weakness for Pakistan, culminating in winning the 1992 World Cup as underdogs.

Done apologies, I'm away atm and I'm trying to do this from my phone - but it just doesn't let me copy images. So I've had to quote your post and add in the quote.

No worries. Cheers for sorting.

 

[Norris]

Love the batting setup from both (Maybe PS18 a little more), but the bowling does feel a tad (Relatively) underwhelming.

 

[Mani]

Team VO looks more balanced to me in spite of sheep in his line up it doesn't even look like a weakness, getting 3 allrounders had saved his team, on other side PS got good attacking batsmen at top but that bowling line up might struggle to contain run flow.

Team VO bowling first - Hadlee up against Miller & Sehwag

1. Bouncer - Miller tries a drive. 0 runs
2. Yorker - Miller attempts a slog. 2 runs from a thick inside edge
3. Good length ball - Miller attempts a pull. 2 runs with another inside edge
4. Good length ball - Miller attemps to drive it but it goes straight through the gap between bat and pad. OUT
5. Good length ball - Sehwag attempts a pull. Straight over the keeper but fine leg keeps it to 2 runs
6. Good length ball - Sehwag slogs it for 6 runs. Why the feck was Miller opening the batting?

12 runs/ 1 wicket.

Team PaulScholes18 attempt to protect 12 runs. Michael Holding up against Bairstow and Guptill

1. Yorker - Bairstow attemps to pull a ball pitching on his foot. He's out LBW.
2. Bouncer - Guptill pulls it over square leg for 6 runs
3. Bouncer - Guptill tries to drive it but misses it completely. 0 runs
4. Good length - Guptill slogs it over midwicket for 6 runs. Ties the scores with 2 balls to get a run
5. Yorker - Guptill drives it straight over Holdings head, and it lands just on the other side of the rope. 6 runs

@V.O. wins 18/1 with 1 ball to spare. Unlucky @paulscholes18
