Damn, there goes my wicket keeper of choice. With everyone else having selected a keeper (I'll presume that Walcott is being used by Chaminda), I'll leave my keeper until the final pick of the draft.
Dudley Nourse and Charlie Macartney.
May as well choose Macartney as my allrounder given I selected him in my other draft team.

So Hanif is keeping wickets for you then?

Hanif I guess, kept in a couple Tests.
Somerset
Cricketer Of The Year
Somerset's Lightening Speed Draft XI
Geoffrey Boycott RHB, RM (8,114 runs @ 47.72, 7 wickets @ 54.57)
Herbert Sutcliffe RHB (4,555 runs @ 60.73)
Dudley Nourse RHB (2,960 runs @ 53.81)
Graeme Pollock LHB, LS (2,256 runs @ 60.97, 4 wickets @ 51.00)
Sir Frank Worrell RHB, SLA/LM (3,860 runs @ 49.48, 69 wickets @ 38.72)
Hanif Mohammad RHB, WK (3,915 runs @ 43.98)
Charlie Macartney RHB, SLA (2,131 runs @ 41.78, 45 wickets @ 27.55)
Wilfred Rhodes RHB, SLA (2,325 runs @ 30.19, 127 wickets @ 26.96)
George Lohmann RHB, RFM (213 runs @ 8.87, 112 wickets @ 10.75)
Fred Spofforth RHB, RF (217 runs @ 9.43, 94 wickets @ 18.41)
Sydney Barnes RHB, RFM (242 runs @ 8.06, 189 wickets @ 16.43)
With Boycott and Sutcliffe opening, I'm batting Hanif at number six. The bowling attack looks extremely dangerous, and the batting line-up certainly has a tough of class. Perhaps the only weakness is the lack of a really genuine allrounder in the form of a Sobers or Miller.

Btw is there any chance I change my las pick to Clive Lloyd. My batting line ups balance is all out now.
Somerset
Cricketer Of The Year
Correct.
He did wicket keep in three tests so I'm prepared to hand over the gloves to him. Besides, Barnes and Lohmann combined took 301 test wickets, including only 35 wicket keeper catches - so hes hardly going to be overworked based on that.

Sorry Ted Dexter, maybe I should change him back or one of you guys can take him. Not fussed.

meh, I wouldnt have taken him. Great player but wouldnt fit in under my management
I dont mind if you keep Lloyd

I was going for Doug Walters and then Matt took him. Saw Dexter and went for him without thinking of where he would bat. Doesn't really fit anywhere without affecting someone else in the line up.
