Weds Lightening Draft

[Somerset]

You're up Somerset - Goughy took Straightoutta

Sorry about that, didn't notice Goughy had snuck in his selection before my post.

Nice pick with Procter by the way, I was lining him up.

 

[Matt79]

I was going to take Davidson and Procter and bat down to 11...

 

[Goughy]

This is awesome.

I pick Larwood

The Tyson/Larwood Express entering **** You Town! Choo Choo

 

[Somerset]

I was going to take Davidson and Procter and bat down to 11...

If I had managed to get Sobers with my first pick, I probably would've tried to do the same thing - or at least have a capable batsman at number nine. The temptation of selecting the likes of Lohmann and Sydney Barnes was too good to refuse though.

 

[chaminda_00]

Alec Bedser, slow and steady

 

[Matt79]

This is like T20 drafting...

 

[Matt79]

Aubrey Faulkner
Bill O'Reilly

[Matt79]

Think taking two spinners at once was an error now, but there's little time to think things through at this rate...

 

[Goughy]

To go with the Swiss Army knife of cricketers (Sobers) I pick the Swiss Army knife of spinners, Wardle

 

[Somerset]

Geoffrey Boycott and Sir Frank Worrell

 

[Goughy]

Neil Harvey

 

[Somerset]

This is like T20 drafting...

Wonder if someones going to take that out of the context you meant it in and start a Twenty20 draft version...

 

[chaminda_00]

Jim Laker

 

[Matt79]

Would be interesting. And sod you for taking Harvey...

Been tempted for a while tbh. Was thinking domestic though.

 

[Matt79]

Sid Barnes (the opener, I know the bowler is gone)
Allan Knott

 

[chaminda_00]

Eddie Barlow (opener/all rounder perfect for the side)

 

[Goughy]

Sorry internet problems. Les Ames
