04. Dudley Nourse
05.

I'll take Archie Jackson via the US President clause. He shares a last name with Andrew Jackson - the seventh President. Nice to get that one out the way.

1. Archie Jackson
2. -
3. -
4. Jacques Kallis (5)
5. Clyde Walcott+
6. -
7. Keith Miller (2)
8. Kapil Dev (3)
9. -
10. Michael Holding (1)
11. Sydney Barnes (4)

Cheers mate. Really enjoying the draft so far.

Had real trouble with this pick - probably the most in any of the drafts thus far. Jackson definitely not the best quality player left, but the US [Vice] President clause has hardly any quality names left.

Sincerely disappointed with the lack of pisstakes re: women's cricketers

My first pick would've been Claire Taylor under the clause "Shares a name with a US president"

Jackson - Gets rid of a difficult Clause and fills one of your empty top 3 batting spots at the same time. Very clever!
