And t here goes the last two gold tier ATGs. As I said I never thought they would last any way. Great picks this late.
Edit: One spinner still left.

Honestly wondered if Grimmett would come down to me.
"I will go down as Darren Sammy, the one who always smiles" - Darren Sammy
I seriously considered taking Grimmett with the last pick I had and putting him in tandem with Warne. But I felt it was greedy, and I needed Harvey!
Didn't Jager pick Harvey a few pages back, or am I mistaken?
Barnes in this match revealed himself once more as one of the most remarkable bowlers that this country has ever produced. He has a positively wonderful command of the leg break.... His great height makes it difficult for the batsman to follow the flight of the ball. He is useful on every kind of wicket, whereas few bowlers of his pace are able to bowl on a sticky wicket. - JACK HOBBS, 'My Cricket Memories' (1924)
Eds and Blakus are famous for taking players I hope to get, so I'm not too surprised that I lost him. Having said that, this draft has allowed me to pick some of my favourite players so far, barring Hadlee and Trueman. This is going fairly well.
The latter.
Must have been distracted by the ironing, Lord of the Rings, and mucking-up kids.
Great team Monk. Harvey was probably the right the way to go. Although Warne and Grimmett would have been awesome together despite being farely similar.
Warne is good enough by himself tbf.
I was thinking similar. Murali and Grimmett would be a an awesome spin duo. But like you I decided to ensure that I had a strong batting line-up
This team is just about a work of art I reckon. An appropriate link between Richards and Kanhai will completely set it off.
