My side would have been very different if it was based on a Test Side; my first two picks would have been Murray Goodwin & Dave Houghton not Neil Johnson & Brendan Taylor

I think my team had the best bowling lineup. Streak and Jarvis are like the two best test pacemen.
It’s an ODI side mate not a test team
I thought it was an all format side? Naturally, I put more of an emphasis on Test cricket.

Well, no wonder my team has no hopes. Neither the draft team builders nor the voters are realizing that this is an ODI side we are picking to beat the Aussies!

You picked a Test side with Chisoro as the lone spinner :roll:

I should add that Marillier and Blignaut have a history of playing well against the Aussies in ODI cricket. Chatara is also statistically one of our best ODI bowlers. Sibanda and Vermeulen aren't as shaky up top as some are claiming. And why is everyone overlooking Taibu? He was seriously good, and is worth 20 runs alone as our best keeper.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

You were probably too busy working out the mathematico-statistical parameters for Draft 2.

I was. I am also very unaware of ZIm cricket before 2009 and especially before 2004. Put me at a disadvantage there because I didn't know which players were good when ZIM had their best ODI form.
