Harsh on AC there FF

I'd say as a Test Batsman he underachieved no doubt; but his ODI numbers and his captaincy make him a worthy selection in the top 10
In my mind I'm mainly judging the teams for their Test potential.

This is what I would have loved as well, but BRMT admin is talking about an ODI being played by these teams against Aus at HSC as a baseline for analyzing the team strength. IF not for that, I would have not picked Elton at all :)

Oh, I didn't read that. Explains the lust for power hitters and part-time wicket keepers :)

Ahh I'm really feeling the pain of being at the end of the line when it comes to picks the last round really hurt

For pick 12 I will go for a personal favourite of mine and no it's not Neville Madziva :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pick 12 Sean Ervine, only got a small glimpse of what he was capable of for Zimbabwe, IMO the biggest loss from the Rebel Saga without doubt

Pick 13 Was tough but much the Keeper batsman issue; there are not many quality spinners to pick from, the 3 standouts obviously being Paul Strang, Ray Price and Graeme Cremer. You could look at Utseya for the amount of wickets but his average was awful and he was no doubt a cheat and rat.

It was hard to choose but considering his overall career figures of 211 wickets at 32.5 the most wickets, best average and best strike rate of the four I had to go with Alexander Graeme Cremer with Pick 13
Kriterion_BD: (#1) Heath Streak, (#8) Guy Whittall, (#9) Alistair Campbell
eugene: (#2) Andy Flower, (#7) Murray Goodwin, (#10) Andy Blignaut
CrimsonAvenger: (#3) Grant Flower, (#6) David Houghton, (#11) Eddo Brandes
jaybro: (#4) Brendan Taylor, (#5) Neil Johnson, (12#) Sean Ervine, (13#) Graeme Cremer
Mueddie28 goes with Hami, Taibu wk & Chatara

I was very close to picking Strang over Cremer; too be honest there's not much between them, I did have you down for Razor but not a huge surprise you took Strang.

Strang all day, he was a fantastic spinner and a very very handy batter.

+1. And I was sure I won't get a chance to pick him.

I was tempted to go with Ray Price, but Strang's figures are superior and he played against tougher opposition.
