Experience Draft

[Agent TBY]

Right, so the decision's been made.

I was really, really tempted to have the most destructive pace attack ever, but I've chosen with my head and not my heart here. My attack is going to be good enough anyway, so this player gives my team more balance with his batting, and most importantly, gives me someone who knows how to bowl in the subcontinent. That is vital, looking at my position in Round 11.

So I pick Imran Khan. Not sure if having him and Abbas in the same side is a good idea, but meh.

1) Merchant
2)
3) Abbas
4) Weekes
5) Worrell
6) Imran Khan
7) Dhoni (+)
8)
9) Lillee
10) Barnes
11) Bond

 

[fredfertang]

Can't carry this around in my head any longer so

1. Jack Hobbs
2. Hanif Mohammad
3. Archie Jackson
4. Stan McCabe
5.
6. Adam Gilchrist
7. Andrew Flintoff
8.
9. Harold Larwood
10. Jim Laker
11. Ted MacDonald

 

[Jarquis]

I was so so so tempted to pick Khan, just going into the final 2 rounds needing an opener and somebody to bat at first drop isn't wise at all. Hammond offers a decent enough bowling option, according to Bradman anyway.

 

[Pothas]

Surely its best to get early picks in the weaker rounds?

And the last round is indeed a goldmine. I've actually based my selection strategy around getting a batsman in that round since there's 10 genuine greats and I'm certain to get one.

Yeah generally that is true but it does mean missing out on one of the very very greatest.

I will also be getting a batsman, got my bowlers picked early.

 

[Blakus]

It's been more than 12 hours since Fredfertang made his pick so I'm up.

A difficult choice this, but I feel the need for some more express pace in my side, so I'm taking Malcolm Marshall.

With two picks to go I have:

1.Herbert Sutcliffe

3.Denis Compton

5.Martin Donnely
6.Andy Flower
7.Aubrey Faulkner
8.Malcolm Marshall
9.Andy Roberts
10.Frederick Spofforth
11.Dale Steyn.

One of the meanest and most cunning pace attacks you'll ever come across

 

[NUFAN]

I'm going to take over from Marc if that's okay? What rounds has he missed?

 

[Noble One]

Time for a wicketkeeper, some really good options available this round. Went with a brilliant wicketkeeper, and someone who will add extra depth to the batting in Jeff Dujon.

1. V Trumper
2. B Woodfull
3. B Richards
4.
5. M Crowe
6.
7. J Dujon WK
8. R Lindwall
9. M Holding
10. F de Villiers
11. B O'Reilly

 

[fredfertang]

I don't think NUFAN should be limited to the choices Marc has already made and should have the option to substitute anyone else who's available if he so wishes

 

[Blakus]

I'm going to take over from Marc if that's okay? What rounds has he missed?

Rounds 61-70, 71-80 and 81-100

his Current team reads:
Stewie Dempster
Graeme Pollock
Charles Macartney
Alan Davidson
George Lohman

 

[NUFAN]

I'm happy enough with his choices, I have KP also, don't I?

 

[Blakus]

That you do. Wonder how i missed him?

 

[Noble One]

I don't think NUFAN should be limited to the choices Marc has already made and should have the option to substitute anyone else who's available if he so wishes

Agree. I'm sure nobody would object to this.

Draft shaping up nicely now, be interested who gets team selection completely wrong and misses out on a keeper, or an opening bat, or no spin bowler.

 

[NUFAN]

Round 7 - Bishen Bedi
Round 8 - Doug Walters
Round 9 - Curtly Ambrose

 

[Agent TBY]

Agree. I'm sure nobody would object to this.

That would be me.

Round 7 - Bishen Bedi
Round 8 - Doug Walters
Round 9 - Curtly Ambrose

Good stuff.

 

[NUFAN]

I will not make any changes from the first 6 rounds because I'm sure marc has picked someone (for instance Alan Davidson) who I'm sure someone else would have selected.

NUFarc
1 Stewie Dempster
2
3 Charles Macartney
4 Graeme Pollock
5 Kevin Pietersen
6 Doug Walters
7
8 Alan Davidson
9 Curtly Ambrose
10 George Lohmann
11 Bishen Bedi

I think I'm completly fine with the spinners and openners and Murdoch was a perfectly competent keeper (Indeed a very good one who got few test opportunitities behind the stumps due to Blackham)

 

[The Sean]

Who's up now then?

 

[Jarquis]

You are
The Pothas x2 before it's back to you again.

 

[The Sean]

Ha ha ok, I'll take a Greg Chappell to go then please.

 

[Pothas]

Ok first I will have Kumar Sangakkara and for the second Inzamam-ul-Haq
