Dream11 Fantasy Team
Wicket-keepers
While Sussex skipper Brown is our first-choice wicket-keeper, we have also chosen Kent’s Cox and Robinson, both of whom have been relatively consistent this season. Cox scored 62 against Northamptonshire and was unlucky to miss out on a ton against Lancashire. Though Brown is yet to score a fifty, he has some good starts and is due for a big one.
Batsmenp>Drummond, Thomason, Haines, Van Zyl make the grade as batsmen in our Dream11. Though Drummond is yet to hit his stride, his innings of 114 against Lancashire gave us a glimpse of his potential. Thomason had a couple of fifties against Glamorgan and is due for a big score. Haines made 155 in his first match against Lancashire and followed that up with near hundreds against Glamorgan and Yorkshire. Van Zyl has registered scores of 113 and 79, underscoring his talent. We back him to continue in the same vein against Kent on 13 May. All-Roundersp>Stevens is our lone all-rounder choice. Stevens has been outstanding for Kent this season, scoring runs (including a ton against Northamptonshire) and taking wickets regularly, including a haul of 5/53 against Glamorgan.
