Jumping the Shark Draft

No, he isn't :-O. He wasn't even the best spinner in his own team. Not to say he was very far behind Chandrasekhar, but IMO people get taken in by the reports of his graceful action, loop and all that bluster about how he preferred to buy his wickets rather than peg back the batsman hoping to scalp him ( should've had the best SR if that were true. Chandrasekhar has better claims to adhering to that philosophy given his lower SR and higher ER).

IMO Kumble and Chandrasekhar tie for first spot. Kumble was God at home, while Chandrasekhar was better overseas. Besides, Chandrasekhar bowled with a polio stricken arm, all the more credit to him. From all reports, he couldn't keep his arm raised for anymore than the effort it took him to deliver the ball.

Greatest starting with B atleast. No fair enough I just like what I've heard about Bedi and no other Indian bowler has an average as good as his.

Named my Nana's dog Bedi too - probably not the best reason to pick a player I guess.

Matt could you just confirm how rounds 9-11 will work in terms of how players can be accepted? It might have an influence on how I make my pick in round 8.
Order for rounds 9 and 10 will be announced at the end of round 8. You still need to nominate and wait for players to be accepted, as only players ranked 11 to 31 become available then - if you pick a top ten player, he'll be rejected and you'll have to repick as per previous rounds.

Order for rnd 11 will be announced at the end of round 10. All players who played a test post WWI are available then.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, Tharmi was the last one to pick, so its Vimes, Somerset then Julien...
