Left Handers Draft Thread

[kingkallis]

Nicely done. Besides drafts where the criteria was that you had to select players from every test playing nation, I don't think anyones ever done that before.

I did not notice it till I picked Dilip Doshi as my 11th player

On the face of it - it might seem like a good move to squeeze Gavascar into your starting XI but in reality how many runs is he is going to make for you left handed. 12 or 13 runs - I don't see him playing any cover drives for 4.

Can we just skip the ground selection stage? Interest in this draft is zilch now, it is better to start the poll before another week or so passes.

 

[Hurricane]

I agree with this. I was going to take either the basin reserve or Seddon park as I didn't really mind.

 

[Somerset]

Sorry I didn't realise we were picking grounds - SCG.

 

[Himannv]

Lords, if we're still picking grounds.
