All Time Fantasy Cricket

[Red Devil]

India team

1. Gavaskar
2. Sehwag
3. Dravid
4. Sachin
5. Kohli
6. Dhoni (wk)
7. Kapil Dev
8. Jadeja
9. Ashwin
10. Nadkarni
11. Bhuvi

back-ups

12. Pujara first back-up for all batters
13. Laxman - second choice back-up for numbers 3-5, with Pujara / Dravid moving up to open if necessary.
14. Engineer - back-up keeper
15. Kumble - first choice back-up spinner
16. Mankad - second choice back-up spinner
17. Irfan Pathan - first choice back-up seamer
18. Srinath - second choice back-up seamer

a shame that we can't have Bumrah as he's the leading seamer for India by a mile - but I'm guessing he won't exist in cricket captain 2018.

Also, I'm guessing that older players like Amar Singh from the 1930s won't be represented that well as so few test matches were played in those days - probably also impacts someone like Vinod Kambli who was stellar but only played 17 tests

Ian, I changed my squad a few days ago so I didn't have two Steve Waugh's. David Warner came in. It's ok if it's hassle to change.

Do I have to pick my first team now?

Ponting or Chappell would have been more useful than Rhino I think.

Got to fancy the Aussies.

Got to fancy the Aussies.

Just a smidge.

Iverson is a bit left field ... unless there is a quirk of the game I'm not aware of. If so few matches gets well considered by the game I should have picked Kambli

Anyhow, plsying India in India has been a problem for Aus so I'll hope that's the case here too ... playing Aus in Aus would result in a bit of a hiding though ... Bradman. Gilchrist, Miller and Davidson are all big differentials.
