CW Draft League

[marc71178]

If you're doing that why not have it so each member of the draft selects a category for the round they pick first in and then make it up with a free for all at the end?

 

[Jager]

The only conflict for this round was a three-way clash for Kumar Sangakkara - R7 will start soon.

[kingkallis]

Fine team there Eds

 

[Eds]

Cheers KK. Really not sure what balance to go with, with Grace very capable of bowling, and Walcott very capable of taking the gloves. Maybe one more bowling option in the top 7 to share the fifth bowling with Grace.

I would personally just leave Grace as the permanent fifth bowler

 

[watson]

I agree. In his ATG England team Bradman preferred Grace to Botham as the allrounder batting at No.6

 

[Red]

I agree. In his ATG England team Bradman preferred Grace to Botham as the allrounder batting at No.6

What was his line up?

 

[Jager]

I thought Bradman's lineup was....

Morris
Richards
Bradman
Tendulkar
Sobers
Tallon
Lindwall
Lillee
Bedser
O'Reilly
Grimmett

Unless you're talking about Bradman's ashes XI? Although I don't think Grace made that either tbh

 

[watson]

What was his line up?

His England team was;

1. Hobbs
2. Hutton
3. Compton
4. May
5. Hammond
6. Grace
7. Evans
8. Trueman
9. Bedser
10. Barnes
11. Verity

12th Botham

As usual Bradman prefers his tail long.

 

[Red]

I thought Bradman's lineup was....

Morris
Richards
Bradman
Tendulkar
Sobers
Tallon
Lindwall
Lillee
Bedser
O'Reilly
Grimmett

Unless you're talking about Bradman's ashes XI? Although I don't think Grace made that either tbh

I don't mind this XI as much as some people do, but the selection of Bedser surprises me (although I rate him very highly).

Tallon batting at 6 is ridiculous imo. Lindwall was a better batsman than him (clearly). I fail to understand why Bradman didn't select Miller in place of Bedser, and avoid the ridiculous tail his team has...

Morris
Richards
Bradman
Tendulkar
Miller
Sobers
Lindwall
Tallon
Lillee
O'Reilly
Grimmett

 

[Jager]

Sorry mate, no way was Lindwall a better batsman than Tallon I can only assume you say that having only considered test match averages. Tallon at 6 is obviously a questionable call though.

Bradman was certainly not Miller's greatest fan, something that I can't help but think affected his decision

Maybe Bradman was put off Miller because of his habitual womenising. It would certainly go against his grain.

 

[kingkallis]

Jager, what happened to No.6?

 

[Blakus]

1.

4.Denis compton
5.
6.Ian Botham
7.Adam Gilchrist+
8.Richie Benaud*
9.Alan Davidson
10.Wes Hall
11.

Really happy with the way my bowling attack is developing here. Will pose plenty of challenges to an opposition line-up

 

[Jager]

Jager, what happened to No.6?

What do you mean?
