What do you mean?

I did send mine, you surely have yours so what about Marcuss? Did he send his player for Round 6 yet? How much time left for him?

 

[watson]

About half an hour (I think) if the 12 hour rule is active.

Only five minutes to go, Marcuss will hopefully get back to me just in time - or maybe not, so we're guaranteed our players

 

[Jager]

So we start R7. Halfway through the draft! Any thoughts so far?

[MrPrez]

My thoughts are that this is way more competitive a draft than last time.

 

[Himannv]

My thoughts are that I'm quite peeved at being denied Hadlee.

 

[Jager]

My thoughts are that this is way more competitive a draft than last time.

Hope you're enjoying it, I am glad it's working out well

My thoughts are that I'm quite peeved at being denied Hadlee.

Maybe I blocked him out like I blocked Sanga

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

[watson]

Just SENT

 

[kingkallis]

I am glad I got Verity. Spinners are nearly all gone!

 

[MrPrez]

Yeah same with me and Kumble

I still find it amazing that we generally don't pick Indian spinners despite the fact that they are world-class. Apart from Kumble of course who is really a medium pacer masquerading as a spinner.

 

[Valer]

I think the lack of spinners left is seriously overstated.

[watson]

BTW Jager, are you going to stick Stan McCabe in at No.3 instead of Dravid?

 

[kingkallis]

I still find it amazing that we generally don't pick Indian spinners despite the fact that they are world-class. Apart from Kumble of course who is really a medium pacer masquerading as a spinner.

Even Raju could bowl well on our Indian wickets. I've always liked spinners who could bowl well on non-spinner friendly wickets.

 

[Jager]

I think the lack of spinners left is seriously overstated.

Agreed, can think of about 10 that I would love to have in my team, but perhaps wouldn't be given the 'ATG' status that some of the spinners already selected would.

BTW Jager, are you going to stick Stan McCabe in at No.3 instead of Dravid?

Tempting. Not sure where Dravid would go since I quite like him at 3... McCabe could really go anywhere, but I will keep him at 4 until I choose my last middle-order batsman, as they may change everything. I recently started rating McCabe so much more than before, one of my absolute favourites now!

 

[Jager]

Also 8/12 so far, could be a super-quick round
