(And that's the two worst Clauses out the way The other one being 'Bowled Bradman' of course)

Could have got him with the hattrick clause too - was waiting to do so myself actually great pick

Cheers, but there's still a long to go.

Will pick after I've dropped my brief case, put my slippers on, and made a cup of cocoa.

And hopefully before Marcuss wakes-up to unfurl himself from Jemima and Big Ted.

Apparently Courtney Walsh played for Gloucestshire.

Good pick that. Spent ages debating between him and Adcock. Tossed a coin in the end

Yeah, I had Adcock and Walsh penciled in and ready to go (along with two other possibilities that I was umming and arring about) because I wasn't sure who you would pick. Actually prefer Adcock as a new ball quick, but Walsh works quite well as a first-change 'work-horse' to Lillee and Roberts.

You have three very attacking fast bowlers Blackus. Which two would you open the attack with?

[Blakus]

Lindwalls' fast outswingers combined with Garners' disconcerting bounce sounds ideal to me.
Adcock makes for a relentless first change and Verity will keep them bottled-up. One of the better attacks I've made

I would agree with that!

And with the 'Bowled Bradman' & 'US Presidents' clauses gone, plus the post-WWII clause still to come, you should be able to coast home.

[Marcuss]

Unpicked in previous drafts - Colin Cowdrey

Excellent pick from Watson yet again. Would have gone Walsh over Adcock by a long way, myself.

I'll take another West Indian quick via the 'debut after WWII' clause in Michael Holding.

Well done. He was sitting there for ages. I thought everyone had forgotten him, and I was hoping I'd get him very late.

Really versatile bowling attack you have there. The inclusion of Miller, Dev, Kallis and Walcott as quality all rounders means you have a fair bit of flexibility now. Well played!
